My understanding is that the "CC" is for a "Crate Case" and the "CT" is for a "Crate Transmission"

It's a service replacement.
The "C" stands for Chevrolet.
The "T" stands for Transmission.
The "8" means it was assembled in 1968.
#42989th unit produced from the Muncie,Indiana plant.
They started those at serial #35000 and ended at #44999 at Muncie plant.
Thats a 1969 model year notated on the Trans.,so that August month code could be either August 1968 or August 1969,seeing as they stretched the 1969 Camaro production longer then usual.
One could argue it was August 1969,based on that late serial number of #42989 out of only 44999 made there.

Rick,
Are you saying that Muncie's assembly date stamp is the MODEL year and not the Calendar year of assembly?
IF they were building SERVICE PARTS, ie: a replacement trans, why would they stamp it with a model year when it's not shipped to an assembly plant for a new vehicle?
I find it much easier to believe the date of assembly was Aug '69, but that conflicts with CT8.

Assembled in August 1968 (CT8) for 1969 model year (P9M23). If it was assembled in August 1969 it would have the A, B or C code after the assembly date to designate M20, M21 or M22. The side cover changed from 68 to 69. I don't have my books here at work but the '306 is probably the 69 side cover.

I too believe it to be an Auguat 68 assembly made for 1969 production,based on the #306 sidecover & no A-B-C initial following it.They probably assembled a bunch of these very early on,closing in on the final made number of 44999.

Can you double check those digits?.Specifically the CC9,as I have some idea about the rest of it,but not certain.

Are you sure the first "c" in cc9 or ct9 represent Chevrolet and not counter case or counter trans...
The reason I'm asking is replacement cases and complete trans were also used for in Buick's, Old's and Pontiac's...

I believe the trans in question is an Aug. 1968 build date for a 1969 model year car that was put into the parts system after assembly...

I have a large selection of "cc" and "ct" cases...
