Bob,
Sounds like a later model J Type. Does the OD Solenoid mount
horizontally or vertically? If vertical it is an A if horizontal it is
a J. The Type J won't fit a TR3 without modifying the floor board and
probably the trans. cover to provide clearance for the solenoid. Also
the transmission rear mount will require some pretty heavy
modification of the frame to accept the Type J rear mount.
Good luck, and as always YMMV!
