" A: I don't recall what the trans was I had for my '66 Fairlane. It was 
" supposedly a 3 speed modded with O/D in place of reverse and reverse moved 
" into the tail stock? (Ford Factory Granada thing I bought from 
" http://www.darkhorseperformance.com well before Y2K. He's the West Coast 
" Tremec dealer and repair shop) I used it with the column shifter and put a 
" Jeep Quadratrac low range cable under the dash to operate reverse gear (as 
" it had 3 levers) I had to push in the handle to engage reverse (made a great 
" theft detterent till I swapped from 289 std to 428 auto and it was stolen) 
" which wouldn't let any other gear engage unless it was pulled out (most 
" would think it was an Ebrake and push it in)

if it wasn't original it was probably a late-'70s granada unit,
essentially a regular 4sp toploader with 3rd the o/d and the 3-4 lever
arm inverted to reverse shifting.  as i've said, this box is
dimensionally a straight swap for the amc t150 3sp of the late '70s.

if it was original, it could be a t86 with warner r10 o/d, just like
amc used.
