4 speed production totals via NMCOA.
4 speed totals

Re: 4 speeds in monte carlo's?
 

Based on the first page, Monte production totals...I come up with a lower number of 70 402 4 speeds.
Follow along!
production states for 1970
10786 TH400's
we know all 3823 SS used the TH400
that leaves 6963 TH400's
next we know 7456 402's produced
so mate the remaining TH400's to 402's and you're left with 493 402's.... which I deduce were mated to 4 speeds.

making a 1970 402 4 speed production total of 493 https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/scholar.gif

Ah, what about the 3 speed manuals? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

Re: 4 speeds in monte carlo's?
 

From the literature I've seen, the 3 speed manual was the base Monte only...3 speed manual was only mated to the 350 2 bbl.
But if by chance any other trans (3 speed manual, or powerglide) was bolted to any 402's... that just brings the number of 402 4 speeds down even lower.

Scott,
Was that Richie's car from North Jersey?
I have a scan of that build sheet and have talked to the guy that owned it before him too.
Nice car for sure!

More importantly, too bad you did not buy that turd brown SS. You might be surprised what that car would be worth today if in fact there were documents to back it up.
