Muncie 4 speed

Hi all,
I recently purchased a 1969 GTO which I thought was all numbers matching, turns out the Muncie 4 speed has a stamping of P8C07 so March 07, 1968 and a VIN of 38M307433. I believe this is an Olds transmission from a 1968 car assembled in Lansing, MI. If by a remote chance it matches someone's VIN or at least year and build date I would be happy to reunite it. I would only want a 1969 Baltimore built or non stamped replacement case transmission in return. I know it's a longshot but posting just in case, it will probably be available until October 2021.

That's an early build tranny by the VIN. I don't understand why the date stamp is so late. My VIN is M352110 and it's a late April build. Maybe check to make sure it's a zero....

Is it an M20 or M21? I think I have a 69 Pontiac M20 in my car. I'll try to get the VIN derivative tonight

edit: mine is a 67... P7C22 with no VIN stamp which would have been correct for 67

307433 is not that early, Mike. Keep in mind that in 1968, Toronado seqence numbers started at 500001, so that's 307,000 A, B, and C body cars in Lansing through early March.

OK that makes sense. I was thinking just the A-Bodies started with 3. I didn't realize that the A,B,& C's started at 000001

Actually, the sequence numbers start at 100001 for A, B, C in 1968 and 500001 for Toros.
