Deaborn 3-Speed for 1968

Short answer: True — Pontiac used a Dearborn (Ford) heavy-duty 3-speed (FoMoCo on the case) behind the higher-HP V-8s because Muncie/GM didn’t offer a 3-speed that would stand up to that torque. (Muncie made a 3-speed, but it was light-duty; Saginaw was the norm for other 3-speed applications.) All the more reason to order the 4-speed.
