Re: Why are there two different lower bell housings?

All 55s came with solid bell housing bottoms. I guess the mechanics complained enough that they put the access plate on for 56. Perhaps some late 55s had the plate, but I have never seen one. I usually take a holesaw and cut a 1" hole using the existing 1/4" hole as a pilot. Then it is no problem to drain the convertor, once you find the plug.
