Re: [FWDLK] Fw: Power pack engine in 55 Chrysler Windsor

["Terry & Andree Hoeman" <tehoema@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Interesting.  Should have checked some of my other manuals also.   The C68,
C69 and C70 were all standard with the automatic so supposedly there was not
a Stick available on them.  Can't imagine it on either of the imperials but
could have happened on the NY I suppose.  The last 55-58 parts manual
doesn't even indicate it as a possibility though.  Lots of errors and
omissions possible here I suppose.   think about the task of compiling those
manuals before computers!

Has anyone ever seen a straight 55 on parts manual?   Had to exist somewhere
didn't they?  I picked up a Canadian 55 only manual recently but never seen
on from the states!

Still think I have some sort of special power pack engine assy here myself
but who knows.  Sorry I didn't get more responses but greatly appreciate the
help.

Thanks

Terry
