Thanks for the kind wods, Bruce!!!! It's nice to be back.

I feel there's nothhing remotely "bogus" about this deall. It has simply been overlooked for too many years. Everyone seems to agree that it's a 3 speed transmission except the NHRA Tech Dept.
Maybe it's because you can't feel the gear changes, I dunno...
Not allowed a swap to a 3 speed (Metric 200?) although they could have come with a 3 speed, originally (Turboglide.)

To me, the "big deal" is, for example, 340 Dusters are allowed a 904 (a never-b uilt OEM application), while the Turboglide (3 speed) claim for cars like- Cap' Jackk's 283 wagon are denied the opportuunity to swap to an alternative 3 speed. Time to rectify this long-standing injustice,,,

Justt my 2 cents....
