OK so I have what I am told is a 318 A and what I believe to be a 904 tranny. The person that I got them from says they came out of a 1966 Plymouth. I have been told that this combination was not an option... I am trying to verify what years they are, and well if they are indeed what I think they are. The
The following numbers are on the transmission:
Tailshaft:
3631600
05305 13
body of tranny:
2832764-2 DF
68 OD

On bellhousing:

764-2 (twice)

by input shaft:

1942382

The only number that I could find on the motor with a quick glance was found on the front of the block on the passenger side:

4
246823

On the intake on the front passenger side I also found this number:

6
2206383V

I didn't see anything on the front driver side of the block, though it is a little dirty. Not sure if this is where I need to look or where. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you could look for numbers that are stamped into the metal, and not raised numbers or letters done when the part was cast. Castings many times are used for more than one year and for more than one application.

Engine -
If the distributor is at the back of the transmission - numbers stamped into the block, left (driver`s) side, front of block, just below the head
- - OR -
If the distributor is at the front of the transmission - numbers stamped into block, front top, by coolant thermostat housing


Transmission -
Number stamped into the transmission housing, left side, just above the oil pan rail.

I did a quick web search and came up with this:

http://www.mymopar.com/index.php?pid=66

Line #18 you can read:

# 2468230 stamped on the engine should be a 318 A engine from 60-66

Can it be right?

I think he meant engine

Distributor at the front or rear of the block

Thats my interpretation anyway

Yes, front or back of engine, not transnission. That's what I get for yacking on the phone, talking about transmissions, while typing.

05305 13
body of tranny:
2832764-2 DF
68 OD


The raised casting number on the tail dates from the early seventies and the main case raised casting number dates from '68 so the transmission is a hybrid, not unusual.
Look on the drivers side of the main case just above the pan gasket for a stamped series of numbers, this will be the part number and build date to identify it.
