I think your last 6 is missing a number? Also there is an olds lost and found page on Facebook.

Ill look again & verify & I dont do facebook sorry. If someone wants to link it to here or copy it with my email that would be great.

I will add it to the FB page when the full VIN is figured out.

Stefano you were correct. <span style="font-weight: bold">39M196787</span>

Also I didnt notice before but 2 of the ear have been welded. I also found another Olds main case and it too had 2 ears welded.. Those Olds machines must have some torque!!

Actually I think those broken ears occur more often from someone trying to "pull" the trans into position with the mounting bolts when the new clutch disc isn't aligned properly. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/eek.gif[/img]

So technically it is the torque, but from some gorilla trying to torque it into place.
