Installed a large input toploader out of a '70 429 Cobra Jet Torino in my '57 T Bird. Had a toploader 3 speed out of a '63 390 Galaxie before. Used the same cable and gear that I had in it for the 4 speed. When I installed it, it went in tight at the end, which is not all that usual, but seemed a little tougher that usual. Depcided to pull it out to take a look and having trouble getting it out. Is the speedometer drive and gear different? Do in need a different cable and gear? As I recall the toploader 3 speed used the same speedometer set up as the early Ford 3 speeds but the T85 Overdrive I had used a different one. Figured someone here would know. Plan to get it out tomorrow one way or the other and see what I find.
