Nice car!!

QUOTE "not sure what transmission was common for the 273. Info on that would be appreciated"

The transmission in your car will be a cable shifted 904 Torqueflite. They were cable shifted with pushbuttons through 1964 and cable shifted with the console lever in 1965. These torqueflites until 1966 had a rear pump so they could be push started. In 1966 they went to mechanical linkage and dropped the rear pump.
