Interesting...I received three gearboxes with my Spitfire.=20
In the car is an overdrive box. The other two are standard 4 speed Spitfire b=
oxes; one labeled =E2=80=98wide=E2=80=99, the other =E2=80=98close=E2=80=99.=
Now you have me wondering what=E2=80=99s inside??
How did they build different ratio boxes back in the day?
