Thanks for the suggestion. I did manage to find all he bolts. 1 had to ground off.
Splitting took some gentle coaxing. The alignment dowels appear to be steel and looks like they corrode "welded" into the housing (20 years and never been apart).
Set up a rig to maximize getting the maximum moment up and down from the front of trans while applying back and forth axial movement movement. Very tempted to pry at points but remained patiently working it free.
Ditto issue getting the pulse sender out - 2 different metals, 20 mid atlantic winters and it corrode welded to the housing. Heat to he housing around the sender (not he sender!) with gentle persuasion of a rubber clamp device slowly helped give up its grip. Disassembly is as much an art as assembly!
