Yes actually, I changed the distributor but the compressor still won't engage. So I'm stumped...
Lol, no! That was a parts car. It made more sense to pull the 4L80E trans and scrap the van then to try and find a place to keep it in the yard.
I asked one of my guys to save the distributor and he quickly called me over to inform me that he had discovered why he couldn't turn the engine to get the converter bolts.

Bwahahahahahahahah :lol:
Real question, though: In that situation, what does the junkyard tech do? Get medieval on the flexplate? Or skip it and junk the whole thing?
Sometimes I'll drop the oil pan and try to unbolt the mains.
Or of a broke sometimes you can get up in there with an air chisel and break apart whatever is binding you up.
Just like if you had to change a siezed engine in a truck.
