TRANSMISSION ID HELP - need transmission ID assistance

As seen in the link above, you have the more desirable 7 bolt side cover version. I have the 4 bolt side cover version in my 63, but the operation of both is pretty much the same. Randy Rundle has a good book that covers the basics on these transmissions. I highly suggest getting access to that book whether it's online or in print.

For the electrical side of things, you can find several threads on this site about setting that up. You can do it the way GM did it, or you can do it however you want to make it work, but that's up to you. I chose to do it the way GM did it with a couple modifications to make it better for my usage.

I believe those were produced from 67-68 or 69, but I'm not certain on that. Not very long which is why they are harder to find than the 4 bolt side cover that started production back in 55.

Bolting behind your 292 should be easy. The harder part will be making the shift linkage work if you decide to go with the column shift. You will probably have an easier time installing a shifter if you choose to do a floor shift. Additionally, you'll need to have your driveshaft shortened and get the right slip yoke to make it work. Good time to do new u joints and carrier bearing if needed.
