Don't remember if you said you have OD but if so, you also need the governor so that could not be part of the EC package for sale. Anyone needing EC parts to reinstall or fix an existing system would most likely have the governor anyway since that would not typically be a part that would interfere with anything and be removed.

On prewar cars the EC could be bought as a stand alone option and there was an adapter plate which formed the back end of the trans to hold the governor. On postwar cars I am not sure if EC could be obtained without also having OD. If it could and an owner now wanted to add just EC he would need to find the adapter plate and trans. I doubt EC only was that popular by itself so would think it not that easy to find the EC only adapter and trans. In that case it would probably be easier to find an OD trans (which are more easily available) and add a new OD along with the EC.
