I don't know if its all power glides but the one that used to be in my dads old race rail the reverse gear was equal to 3rd gear and if you harp on it too much in reverse it will burn them up but that might have just been the one he had so don't quote me on that

from what ive read up on em the low gear band is applied in reverse so it would be the same ratio in low or reverse

Power glides have to gear ratio's for low, 1.76 and 1.82....  The 1.82 came behind cars with V6's and motor's with less power....

pre 71 models have a rear pump that lets you pull/push start  pretty much all parts can be interchanged 63 to 72

Yup and if ya want you can get an aftermarket block off plate to remove the rear pump...
