It would appear that, if your gearbox and overdrive came from the same car,
the car would have a chassis number somewhere around 33XXX or 34XXX. I
think the gearbox number is a better guide to the chassis number, so would
bet on 33XXX. Given enough time, I can determine exactly which car left the
factory with gearbox 7756. The overdrive number was frequently not recorded
in the factory records.
None of the Healey books show this level of detail. This kind of
information resides only in the BMIHT archives, or in the BJ8 registry when
the information has been provided to me by owners, or has been obtained from
the BMIHT archives either by me or some helpful supporters of the registry.
What can you tell me about the gearbox and overdrive as far as where they
came from (off-list, please)?
