I am still trying to get my car working after the tranny transplant. I took the trans back out to reorient the flywheel, thinking I might have done it wrong, but it matched the punch marks (someone else's) AND the spray paint I put through the first bolt hole. It does not quite match what others have suggested, even the manual (a kind pro let me look at his factory manual), but when I changed the flywheel around, the engine would not even start.

So what I want to know is if anyone out there has a B230FT with the RPM sensor on the back, sitting on the bench (or otherwise easily examined). I want to know if the sensor is over the undrilled section of the flywheel when the crank is at TDC. That is what the factory manual seems to say, but it is NOT what my car was like when I took it apart. I would love to just look at an engine like this, but of course I only have this one, and the boneyard doesn't have one either.

Tomorrow, when it stops raining, I am going to serch for vacuum leaks and electrical problems, as well as checking out the distributor (it might have bumped the firewall when the engine was disconnected from the trans.)
