Default Fordomatic and sending units

Silly question but how many gears would my 55 fordomatic have? I’ve seen manuals with overdrive but did automatics? It always sounds sorta loud at 70 miles per hour and I’m curious if that’s more a problem with sound insulation or if my engine (292) is revving higher due to a lack of overdrive. I have no reason to believe my engine isn’t operating normally, just curious.

Also, unrelated- what sort of temp sending unit would I need? I know mine isn’t correct and my mechanic said the gauges are good. Do I want Two prong or single? I’m having a hard time coming up with a clear “winner” when I type 6 volt original 1955 Ford temp sender. Macs has too many options! My gas gauge also reads empty when it has 5 gallons left, could this also be due to an incorrect gas sending unit? I’m trying to get my gauges reading accurately while avoiding repros based on the other forums I’ve read. Thanks!
