I have a 2 speed from a '63 170, with torque converter, and flex plate. I think I have the block plate, and lower access/dust cover plate.
No vacuum modulator. Late style mount. If you are looking to replace one you have, you should be able to swap the tail housing.
Fully functional when swapped for 3-speed, but a little tired, would definitely do a rebuild. Very reasonable price if you are anywhere close.
Prefer not to ship.

When I first got this car in 2001, I ended up figuring out that throttle linkage and kick down were a 'best attempt' of mixed year linkage causing odd 1-2 shifts, but was able to correct with original linkage that was in the trunk. At the time, there was little to no info on these no modulator trans online, almost every resource INSISTED there was a modulator.
Not to mention a '62 Falcon shop manual with the '63 supplement being in the trunk as well, but why would you ever look in that for the correct linkage set up!!
