Re: [Amc-list] 195.6/T5

I always thought it was a T15? 289/3 speed std from the factory, column shift 66 Fairlane. I replaced it with the 4 speed with O/D and put reverse on an under dash shift cable before I converted the car to auto for my wife (which was before it's Tbolt copy mate was stolen)

On another subject, my buddy Brian has a '68 IH Travelall with 241 that had a bad 3 speed replaced by the PO (Oregon DOT) with a T89 and a 202 tcase. He's wondering if the trans can be swapped easily behind the Nash 327 we have from the '66 Wagoneer he parted?

" back when I was playing with my Fairlanes, I bought an adapter plate to bolt a T5 up to the T15 bell from http://darkhorseperformance.com (If you mention Rambler he'll probably ignore you because someone with RM drove him crazy trying to wear him down on his price for a trans)
 
t15 bell?  or t14?  big difference!
 
there was a guy named 'hacksaw al' linked to from the
fordsixperformance.com pages, who used to have a lot of
bellhousing/tranny adapters for all the 144/170/200 flavors and
variations.  one was a t5 plate that went on the real early '2.77'
[=t96?] bell.  iirc he sold all his stuff to darkhorse performance and
got out of the business, but their website only lists a fraction of
what he apparently had.
 
i snagged his bellhousing pg before he took it down, but his adapter
pg was already gone.
 
i think someone in the studebaker crowd also had something for the t96
bell, going to a gm pattern iirc.
