T-10 help

As far as close ratio, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, I think all the T-10's with linkage out the top of the tranny are close ratio, and if it has side linkage it is the standard version.

I'm looking at a T-10, but I can't find anything out there to decode the numbers on the case & tail. Can anyone help me out? Does this fit a Mustang or a Falcon (or both)? Close ratio or wide ratio (or can you tell from the numbers?)

Case: T-10 H-1 W.G. Div W-1

Tail: T-10 H-7B W.G. Div

**these numbers were pretty hard to make out, so there's a chance that they may not be correct. The build date was too far gone to even guess what it said.....

Okay, the Toploader and Borg Warner are basiaclly the same. The Toploader has a plate on top of the transmission to access the gears. The T-10 has a plate on the side where the linkage goes in.
The linkage is on the side of both transmissions.
Tranny gearing ratio is dependant for the most part on the rear end ratio.

With 3.00 gears in the rear end (for example) you would have the wide ratio.
First Second Third Fourth
Close 2.32 1.69 1.29 1.1
Wide 2.78 1.93 1.36 1.1

Most of the 1965 Mustangs (K-Code excepted) had the wide ratio. Hope this helps.
