Re: Need some 727 assistance - 1965 specifics

[Bill Watson <wwatson6@xxxxxxx>]

All A727 and A904 transmissions used a cast aluminum case.   The tranmission 
part number is stamped, not cast, into the case on the right side of the 
unit just above the fluid pan.

2466 111 - Plymouth/Dodge with 361 or 383 non-HP (early)
2466 112 - Chrysler (early)
2466 113 - C body with HP and MP engines (early)
2466 134 - B & C bodies with 318, C body HD 6 cyl taxi package (early)
2466 135 - A & B bodies with 273

2466 148 - C body with HP and MP engines (late)
2466 149 - Imperial
2466 152 - C body HD 6 cyl taxi package (late)
2466 166 - Plymouth/Dodge with 361 or 383 non-HP (late)

1965 A904 part numbers -
