Thanks.

One more little thing. the actual torque converter oil seal - Bentley says 
they were originally black but were replaced by a white type.

There are no white seals in my gasket set. There is a black seal that looks 
more or less like an engine main oil seal only black and smaller. There are 
actually two of these, identical - don't know why. I assume this is the seal 
I need? There are also a couple of others, similar but smaller.

Obviously I will be able to compare the seal that is in there now, but I'd 
like to know I have the right part before I start.

Other than that I'm all ready to go on Saturday morning.


Thanks,


Daniel
