The grease was an inch thick on that thing.
I get sidetracked with painting sometimes,... when it doesn't really matter.

The powerglide takes a smaller flexplate.
NAPA only carries the 168 tooth 14" flexplate for the 292.

I have a stock SBC flexplate,... but it won't work.
The 292 has 1/2" crank bolts. (SBC has 7/16")
Plus the 292 flexplate has 3 locating dowels,... the SBC has only 1.
