I'm in need of some help my car was last run in 78 it has a 312 with a 69 small case fmx with a ford-o-matic front pump.It slips into 3rd so I will be removing it over the winter. Before I redo it I was wondering if there were any better set ups back then you can't do much for converters with the ford-o- matic.I do not what anything that was not available in 78 trying to stay period correct. Thanks  

I think there was an article   "Y NOT A Y-BLOCK" that covered that.
