Your 4 speed is probably a 700R4. The only 3 speed automatic was the TH200C available in 82 and 83 I believe.

The end of the torque arm is in a rubber bushing inside a bracket bolted to the tailshaft housing of the transmission.

Thanks for the info, does anyone have the part number for the Hurst Adapter kit? I found the B&M one, but havent found a part number for the Hurst one.

Just remembered to ask:
Is the transmission electronically controlled or is it mechanical?

700R4 is a mechanically controlled transmission with an electronic torque convertor lockup..
