Re: [FWDLK] Torqueflite interchange

[Roger Howard <rdhoward@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am fairly certain that the 61 Desoto does not have a park lever, but
rather a typical foot operated E brake.
I think starters are different (61 has alternator, 59 has generator, my 61
Ply  318 has a different starter than my 59 Ply 318, so swapping
bellhousings would keep starter bolt pattern the same)
