What is the code supposed to indicate? Forgive the question cuz most of my vehicles have a man-pedal.

The only "code" I can think of is the ID tag that was located on the passenger side servo cover.
For a '78 F150 w/ C6, 400 & 2WD the tag should read PJA-AH3 or 4 for a trans that has an 8 tooth speedo drive gear, or PJA-BT3 or 4 for transmissions that have a 9 tooth speedo drive gear.

I think you're putting a lot more thought into this than necessary and in the process, stressing yourself out.
If the engine is stock, go with a stock replacement converter.
I still don't have a clue as to what code 64 and 65 mean. I looked through two Ford factory manuals and neither of them list anything like that. All they refer to is the tag numbers like I posted above.
