Okay, been so long since the motor was pulled, I've had to re-learn alot of things. Managd to get the motor in the car this afternoon, but when i grabbed the baggy with the tranny bolts, thats where my problem started.

5 bolts in the bag, below are 3 of them. The two on the left have another just like them, but then the big monster on the end (right side) is a loner. where the hell does the big one go? i assumed the middle length bolts go on the bottom of the bellhousing behind starter at 7 o'clock and the other at 5 o'clock, but then there are 3 more tranny bolts at 10, 1 and 2 o'clock, which all three will fit the 2 smaller bolts i have, but again, this monster bolt is throwing me because it is the same grade of bolt as the other 4, but really long and i can't find it's home. .

I sometimes have a hard time finding a home for my really long monster bolt.

Yeah, that really helps.

Is it the Alternator bolt? Maybe air pump?

I'm pretty sure there should be 3 small bolts and one longer bolt for the tranny/engine

See, that was my only thought was i used one of the smaller tranny bolts somewhere else by mistake, and the longest bolt goes somewhere else.

There are actually 5 tranny bolts. 1,2,5,7 and 10 o'clock.

I have no airpump, and the alternator bolt is already in place.

IIRC, the midlength one goes under the starter. The very long one goes through the top of the starter and has a nut on the other end, there is a bracket for the starter wiring harness that goes over the front end of that bolt (the nut side). There is a very short bolt that bolts the starter in the on the bottom, and there should be three of the shorter length bolts (on the left in the pic) that go up along the top, one on the driver's side, two on the passenger side, and one more shorter length bolt for the bottom pass side

I was more of a spectator almost 2 years ago when it was taken out, and even though i still don't know anything, i knew even less about these cars then.

once again....thanks Rich.
