howdy..
as my neighbor and i were removing the transmission
out of my 66....
he noticed the starter..and said that the tranny wasn't a c-4 cause there were only 2 holes for the starter to go into
and he said a c-4 has 3 holes for the starter.
Now..is he right or wrong?
It seems irrelavant..but it keeps nagging at me.
and if so..what else could it be?
i think he should lay off the sauce..
thanks...

Do you mean bolt holes? My 65 C4 only has two bolt holes. What is he talking about?

He is mistaken for your car. I had a C-4 and when I installed the toploader, the starter transferred right over.

He owes you a beer (or 6).

Smile and ignore the neighbor. All 289/302/351 have 2 bolt starters no matter what trans you have.The 6 cyl had 3 bolt starters as well as all the FE's 390/427/428's

Rest easy... your 2-bolt setup is correct - Maybe your friend got hit in the head by a tranny?!!?

Two bolt holes, and the big hole for the nose of the starter. Yup, three holes.
