'67 Camaro E/SA redo

Looks like my initial diagnosis was not complete. When I pulled the convertor out I found this...stator support shaft the correct terminology???

By the appearance of the shear site it looks to have already been broken...there are three shiney spots which is probably all that was holding it together. I'll attribute this back to the prior driveshaft/housing perch failure fiasco. I told you it was rather violent lol!

Anyway, with this set-up out of commission for a spell I slipped the PG back in temporarily. I'll try to hook up with Thomas at Bowling Green and pass off the trans and convertor to him for repair. Convertor status is unknown and I think it would be prudent to let ATI cut it open for a look-see.

On a positive note the added fuel gauges showed me that the fuel system is working well...was still showing 6-1/2psi thru the lights.

While the car may not be as peppy with the PG, I'll still be at the Beech Bend Combo race this Saturday...what else could go wrong?
