Actually, for those of you who might be interested, the Tempest PG DID!
have a park mechanisim. The lever was positioned on the front of the
mini-console between the front seats and the tranny mechanism was
located on the passenger side of the tranny and operated with a separate
cable which was very similar to the shifter cable.  Also of note was
that the Pontiac PG could be had with several final drive ratios UNDER
3.08. The losest, I believe was a 2.56 to one that could be had with the
326 V8. Unfortunatly for us Vair fans, the Poncho ring gears have an
8-bolt pattern.Jim Briggs  >>I don't think the '61-'63 Powerglide
equiped Tempest had park either  >
