FO6P8C25 matches the Transmission Unit Number on your Billing History
8C25 probably is date incorporated.


Block should be WS on front
Above WS should be stamped - 481997 (Engine Unit Number) ..... then you are golden .

Thanks Baron... I was pretty sure the trans was original to the car, but it is confirmed now. The only thing that bothers me is the part of the transmission marked "3846429" which seems to be a 1963-1965 part from what I've found on the the various Muncie sites. Could they have still had that part left over and installed it in 1968?

The block is stamped "481973" not "481997" above the "WS", but it is also stamped with the last six digits of the VIN, so I think I'm ok.

I wouldn't worry about the engine unit # not matching what is stamped on the block. I have seen the PHS paperwork be a couple of digits off before. The main thing is that your partial VIN on the block matches the full VIN. Also the dealer code of 12 227 is in Missouri, not sure about who the dealer is? Scott

X2 on this one, somebody's fat fingers typed one too many 7's.
