Transmission? Or Light Bulb?

Leem

Hahaha...transmission. Trying to determine what we have. Pretty sure it's an overdrive unit. It does have the two mounts for shifter.

Thanks. I went to some other site where you could type in the 4 digit number for a calculation of the 10000 day calendar. Got a weird year. But then I started thinking...for once....does that calendar just apply to engines. Anyhow...it sold today and the guy didn't seem to care that it probably is an overdrive unit. But I was wondering it's exact year.

Ya. Some of this stuff is sooooo Hard to figure out..... Not sure how us older folks use to do it before we got these little boxes with all this somewhat good info in them.... But man we sure are interred with it !!!! Well at least I am !!!!!! Hahahahahahahaha... Your project looks awesome...

Leem

Hmmm....using this I come up with 1966....same as the other site I used. Not sure what to think...only thing I can surmise is that the tailshaft has been changed out. That's the other number I posted. From what I've been able to find out so far is that the double shifter mounts didn't appear until 1970 and the overdrive with double mounts came along in 74.

Thanks...getting there. This tranny is out of the kids 73 Duster. It's been on the road but it still needs some bodywork and paint too. He decided he wants to replace it with the 727.

You could be rite... Some had dual mount... One Pad for the E-Body and the other Pad for like a B-Body... Not to be taken as that, But you get the picture.. I have yet to find any good sites for alot of casting numbers.
But like Brewers and guy's like Mr. Mopartech are great resources.. Some guys have lots of books. it's just finding them...lol

RacerHog

I liked the Dusters... I have had 3 of them... 1972, 1973, 1976 SE, Man, How I wish I still had them...

Leem

Yes. We had the shifter on the e body mount. Lol...lots of custom work had to be done as we stuffed a 383 into the a body.

RacerHog

That must be fun to drive..... I had thought about that crossover a few times.... But I never pulled the trigger on doing the swap... I got cold feet, after seeing the tight fit....lol

Leem

Yeah...I never think things through carefully before starting a project. Probably a good thing or I'd never do one....lol

RacerHog

Well... Your not in that boat alone... Hahahahhahaha...
Marty: Good hatting with you, I got to run. Have a good evening... Talk to you soon...
