great story on a "working" Cosworth!

Gary:

I just removed a block-off plate from the dash of the 76 car I am
dismantling. The windshield was one that contained an antenna, and
under the dash was the antenna cable that the windshield wire plugs
into and that runs to the radio, nicely tied in a knot to keep it out
of the way. There was no speaker under the dash, and no rear speaker
in the side panel.

I cannot tell whether this is an original blockoff-plate or not, and
cannot tell whether this car was manufactured without a radio as I
did not find any build sheet in the car.

The plate has two numbers and one "logo" on it in the bottom left
corner of the back side. The larger numbers are "326202". The
smaller, very fine numbers are "3980381". The "logo" is an oval with
what looks to be a capital M in the center flanked by a smaller
capital "I" on the left and an equally small capital "R" on the
right. The face of this plate has a random small grain pattern
embossed into it, and it is made of black plastic.

There has been some confusion about the Cosworth Vega transmissions.
I think that the Cosworth came with Saginaw 4 speeds (with different
gear ratios from the regular Vega) and the production (?) code for
this was "M22". I think I remember this correctly. This trans code
makes some (it did me many years ago) think that the trans is a
Muncie M22 (the infamous "rock crusher"!!!) Duke, help me here, am I
just making things up or is my memory about the code correct?

The 75/76 CV four speed is a "Saginaw" and was coded M20.
Special ratios were developed for '74, but were dropped and never made
it to production. They are listed in the '75 Cosworth
Vega four-page fold out sales brochure, but it's an error. Actual
production four-speed CV's have the same ratios
as the Vega four-speed - 3.11, 2.20, 1.47, and 1.00:1.

As far as I know, the ONLY difference between a 140 Vega
four-speed and a CV four-speed is the speedometer drive gear. The 140
version has a brown seven tooth drive gear to mesh with the 18 tooth
driven gear for a 2.93 axle, and the CV has a yellow seven tooth drive
gear to properly mesh with the 23 tooth driven gear for the CVs 3.73
axle.

That's the one hazard of using the 140 Vega transmission (or any other
H-body transmission) - either four speed or five-speed in a CV. The
23 tooth and 25 tooth driven gears that are required for a 3.73 and
4.10 axle respectively will not mesh properly with the brown drive
gear used in other H-body transmissions. You either have to
disassemble the box to replace the drive gear or run an adaptor with
the proper gear ratio to bring the speedo/odo back into accuracy.
