Just curious what year car the engine and trans came out of or if there is a casting date on the transmission.

The engine might be a replacement in a prewar car but switches on the side of the transmission were only used on the prewar EC. I was under the impression postwar EC was sold with an overdrive and not as a stand alone option. If it was available postwar it would seem to be an extremely rarely installed option so the governor adapter plate would have been used but not the switches.

For those who have never seen a car with the stand alone EC option was wondering if you could post a couple of photos of the side of the transmission showing a bit more detail on the switches and how they mount as well as the governor adapter plate.
