R Pope is right. I have one in my '27 and have heaped out bunches of abuse on it, and no problems what-so-ever. Mine came out of a '68 Galaxy, essentially same as your unit. Shifts like butter with Hurst linkage. Not sure, but I think these were run in GTO's for awhile due to some fire or something at the factory? Not sure of the exact details on that, though.
