His mom's in the hospital, but I'll have him start with these initial checks. Not sure about converter.

A buddy of mine replaced a /6 in his 66 Val w/ AT. The motor started up wonderfully, but when he put it in gear, nothing. I have all clutch cars, so I had nothing to add. Is there somewhere for him to start looking. Maybe the torque converter? |

Check the cheap and easy things first. Fluid level? Shift linkages / adjustment? |

Dis-connect one of the AT's coolent lines and start the engine, see if the trans is pumping fluid. (a section of rubber hose and a fluid catch can will reduce the mess) Did he remove or change converters? DD |

Hopefully the converter didn't slip out of place. This may sound stupid, but, he did remember to put those 4 bolts back in between the flexplate and converter, right? EDIT: Ignore this, obviously he did if the car started otherwise the starter would just spin the converter in place. Leave the car in reverse when checking the fluid lines as I believe thats when the most fluid is being moved. |

Is he using a 66 auto trans, with a 68 or later converter? If yes the splines on the trans input shaft are not engaging the splines inside the converter. The 66 trans has a smaller diameter and different spline count then the later converter. |

That's possible Charrlie_S, since I think it was a replacement motor with the 66 transmission. If it is pumping fluid, that would be the next thing to find out. |

If it is the input shaft problem, the trans will pump fluid but the car will not move. DD |
