I will admit that I have not tried to fit the solenoid into my transmission as the flats are lined up 8-2 oclock…
According to the Thunderbird restoration manual, addendum G, by Gil Baumgartner on page 325, 1955 thru 1957 T85 & T86 transmission solenoids have to be oriented so that the flats are facing the 1 and the 7 oclock position.
I will try to get someone from CTCI to clear this up for me.
I also have thru email requested Vanpelt`s to chime in on this issue. I will post their reply when I get one...
