Tom and John,
I think you hit the nail on the head. When I recomputed the
ratios based on a .81 overdrive and my "speedometer readings", the ratios
came out close to the Tom's supplied numbers. So it is probably
a Single Rail Overdrive (SROD) for a 77-78 Granada.
a 3.29 low gear sounds a lot better than my assumed 4.1 or so.
Now to get my speedometer adjusted for the overdrive and fabricate
a new 3-4 shift rod and flip the 3-4 lever on the side of the
transmission. The reverse lever has a piece hanging down
that I connected the backup light switch to. Will have to avoid
that mess with a bend or two in the shift rod.
