Re: MUNCIE METAL TAG ID
The 3946797 is for the 1969 M20 Trans. I'm looking for 3946798 if anyone has an extra.

Re: MUNCIE METAL TAG ID
From the assy manual for 1969 Camaro (don't know about Chevelle or 67-68 Camaro)
3950356 is for RPO M20 with L48, L34, L35, LM1 3946797 is for RPO M20 with Z28 & L78 3950316 is for RPO M21 with L34 3946798 is for RPO M21 with Z28 and L78 3950318 is for RPO M22 with Z28 and L78 Evidently, from this and from the RPO spreadsheet file in pdf available at camros.org, you could not order a close ratio (M21 or M22) unless you had L34 (M21 only) or Z/28 or L78. Now, for another question: Why is there a different tag number for the M20 behind a Z/28 or L78 as opposed to the one behind an L48 engine? They would be identical outside dimensions. The Z and the L48 would have identical shifters and brackets. Was there anything internally different between a Z/28 M20 and the regular small block SS M20? There had to be something different about these transmissions to warrant different tags. Maybe the standard rear gear ratio?

Re: MUNCIE METAL TAG ID
So after reading this topic of discussion, I decide to go out in the garage and check out the tag for my 69 Z/28 and see if it has that 3946797 tag that is being discussed...
Mind you, this Muncie is the matching number gearbox for my car but has been sitting under a workbench for 15 + years (my buddy who used to own the car broke one of the mounting ears). I've never bothered to look at it other than to make sure the VIN was correct.... Low and behold, here's a pic of what I found.... Charlie

Re: MUNCIE METAL TAG ID
Oh sure, make me get my hands dirty.......
Well, with a little help from some carb cleaner, here you go....... FYI, my car is a 10A Norwood built Camaro so I think that is before they started stamping the extra trany code letter on the case??? Probably why I never bothered to open the side cover and check it out? Looks like I have a new task to do this weekend....
