I think Ford started installing AOD trans behind the 300 six in about 1983 or 1984.
It would help you if you could see one of those trucks or pictures of the engine/carb
setup to give you some idea of how the factory did it.
I do know that you have to get it just right or you will burn up the AOD.
Good Luck, there are plenty of knowledgeable folks on this board that can help.

You will need a zero Balance flexplate from 300 with a FMX or big bell C4. I believe the part number is C5TZ-6375-T. And you will need the shift linkage from a truck that had the AOD The TV cable will have to be fabbed or an after market one.

Ford used a TV rod for the carbureted models. The TV cable started showing up with EFI models. If you have a donor transmission from a carbureted six, the linkage on the transmission will have provisions for a TV rod. You cannot use your carburetor if you want to use the AOD with a TV rod. You will need to get a replacement stock carburetor that has the correct TV linkage on the carburetor for the TV rod to connect to.
Check RockAuto for a replacement carburetor for your year model "w/overdrive."
The AOD TV rod will not work with an aftermarket carburetor! If you use an aftermarket carburetor, you will need to use an aftermarket TV cable instead.
