==Olds transmission input pilots== Olds cranks weren't all machined for a manual tranny pilot. See p/n's 450, 455 and 460- [http://www.mondellotwister.com/Transmission.htm Mondello tranny pilots]. The better way to do the input pilot is to use the BBC bearing, as shown. But the other two can be used w/minimal machine work. Like they say, "down & dirty". But to do it 'right' requires the crank to be removed or at least the engine. The image below shows a pilot bushing that is NOT going to interfere with the converter, as the bushing is below the area occupied by the converter. Note this image shows a picture of a Flexplate flywhee) or drive plate used with a torque converter and an automatic transmission. There is no need for the pilot bushing in this instance. Only a manual shift transmission requires a pilot bushing. As stated above it will not interfere with the operation of the torque converter. [[File:At pilot bush.jpg]]
