Dr Terry will probably know for sure. I’ve thrown every one that I’ve pulled out of a car in the scrap bin so never had any at hand to compare!

The big change was from the EJ & early EH 149 to the lateR one. The earlier box only had 4 bolts securing it to the bell-housing, the later one had 5 bolts. Dr Terry
