TRANS ID HELP

[KRB5000]

I HAVE A MUNCIE WITH THE FOLLOWING NUMBERS. P8R03 AND A VIN OF 18K119713, I THINK THIS IS A 1968 MUNCIE, BUILT OCT. 03, 1968. COULD SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT CAR AND YEAR OF CAR THIS IS OUT OF? THANKS, KEITH

Keith, you're close. The transmission IS a 68, but it was assembled on October third, 1967. Muncies are dated for the model year, not the actual year it was built.

The 18K119713 is the VIN from a 1968 Chevelle (or El Camino) assembled at the Kansas City, Missouri plant.

ED, THANKS FOR YOUR HELP. ONE QUESTION, HOW CAN YOU TELL THE TRANNY WAS BUILT OCT. OF 67 INSTEAD OF OCT. 68 ? THANKS, KEITH
