That would explain the shift pattern for the automatic, as well, if memory serves: P-N-D-L-R back then.

Well It's NOT an old Nailhead...they had a rear mounted distributor...I just sold my last one on ebay last week.
It's either a 215 aluminum OR a 300 that was used in the mid-60's. They both used a front mounted distributor. The 300 wasn't aluminum but they were painted an aluminum color in most cases. It kinda looks like a smaller version of the early Nailhead but are pretty rare these days.
I think they used the old Jet-a-way transmission...Buick may have used the name Turbine-something..Olds used the Jet-a-way name, I believe. Any, the Jet-a-way had the older shift pattern.

That's it. 300 series used on 61-63 LeSabre's & Invicta's. I think that the Wildcat & Electra used a bigger block. Some had 2X4bbl carbs, especially on the Riviera. And silver was the color!
64 engines looked more like Pontiac V-8's of the day. Later engines were painted red.
Man, are we dating ourselves, or what???

If we could rid of those phrases, the conversation time would go to about 2 minutes per day...........not too bad.
