Its got a TH400 Automatic tranny in it.

Picked it up yesterday morning in St Louis. Only two things noted, the electric fuel pump is not functioning ($40 will fix that) and the right front brake caliper was frozen and had to be dismantled to move the car. ($150 should fix that).

All in all I am very satisfied with it.

I have, under my bench, a pair of ancient Edelbrock intake manifolds for a flathead, one for two and one for three Stromberg 97s, and three Stromberg's, and I also have a pair of Navaro, finned, aluminum heads. Been saving these for 40 years to put on a flathead. Now I need to find a flathead and tranny combination.

I need to swap out that auto tranny to keep my wife from using it to transport her old lady friends to tea....LOL
