Factory 3-speed vs. 4-speed clues?
Hello, my '70 Post 442 (Plain Jane) was originally a manual trans car (now has auto). Unusual car, had a factory bench seat.
I'm wondering if it might have been a 3-speed originally, versus a 4-speed. Are there clues that might remain (wiring, floor hole, anything else)? Linden NJ car, no build sheet found yet.
Does the bench seat figure in to the analysis?
Thanks in advance, Steve

I'm thinking the bellhousing has been changed...

The '70 CSM clearly shows this. Section 7-311.

I think it used the Muncie holes with 1/2 x 13 threads; the inner pattern is for 7/16 x 14 bolts and is the inner Ford pattern of the two that Ford used on their transmissions. Also, the upper bolts were hard to access with the T&C (Ford Transmission and Clutch Division) 3 speed installed in a GM.
