Supposedly a 1 speed automatic with torque converter was used 
successfully thru
much of 1964.
Late in 64 a 2 speed auto was installed, and that configuration was 
used for a
few years until they started using big block engines.


Since all those FTDs could not have been a result of the automatic 
transmission,
perhaps the heavy fiberglass chassis played a role.
