At this point (almost 50 years old) it's best to pull the cover and manually check the gears to be sure what you have. It's not a bad idea anyway just so you can change the fluid out.

You need to change the ratio for better acceleration - You have a good selection of aftermarket gears out there . A bit pricey but they are avaialble.

3.36 3.55 for a 3 speed max or with the over drive 3.553.73 3.90 will work great. Jim
