Re: [FWDLK] 61 Pioneer / iron trans

The aluminum case A904 Torqueflite was introduced in 1960 along with the
slant six.   That was the first Torqueflite mated to a six cylinder engine.
Prior to 1960 Torqueflite was only available with a V8 engine.   In 1959
Powerflite was available on both six and eight cylinder engines but in 1960
Powerflite became a V8-only unit.

So that 1961 6-cylinder Seneca has an A904 Torqueflite.
