[6pack] Transmission Locating Dowels

[Bill & AnnaBelle]

Hi Bob  ...
	The  dowels (as I have  learned) are critical.  If a previous 
owner has replaced them with studs ... that is a common error.  I

"proper" sized positioning dowel to make your installation as good 
as it can be.
	I believe  the dowels are available from the  big 3
