Sorry for not having enough patience trying to find all explanations on coding numbers on the reference pages listed. I need some help in this one (looking for my next fun project). This SS has the clutch pedal but a TH400 installed behind the replacemnt 396. Original 396 imploded. Is the G2 an Ash Gold paint with the Vinyl Top?

I am also looking for how many 4 speeds were built in 68 and what was the gearbox of choice?

Thanks!

Yes, G2 is Ash Gold with black vinyl top.

Can't say how many 4-speeds were ordered on 68 models but there were three available:
M20 ~ 2.52/1.88/1.46/1.00 - 3.11
M21/M22 ~ 2.20/1.64/1.28/1.00 - 2.27

The M20 was standard I believe and 'choice'?, well...depends on your point of view I suppose. I like the wide ratio M20 for a fairly heavy car with a high (numerically low number) rear end gear - say 3.31 or higher to help get the car moving. If you have a lower gear ratio, the M21 close ratio might be a better choice as you don't need as much multiplication to get going. I'd reserve the M22 for racing or heavy duty use unless you just like the 'whine' it makes.

Does this mean mine had a vinyl top also? Someone has taken it off between here and 1968. TR 766 B90 Y2 Paint What is B90? Thanks!

B90 = Door Window frame moldings
