Carl,

I thought the colors were year specific. Fo rinstance, 1969
THM400 tags were yellow. I believe 1970 tags were a light
blue/green color......

The tag on the 70 CW coded trans was black....other applications may have used a different color....I have only seen the L78 tags...

I am having an issue with my CX tranny...under partial to 1/2 throttle the Nova lights up the tires and shifts firmly into the next gear... but under heavy to full throttle around 5-6k I hear a slight squeal, then the tranny slips before it shifts into 2nd. I know it has and adjustable vacuum mod as I took a few pictures for Tom W...will an adj of this screw in or out fix this? any help out there?

I don't think adjusting the Vac. Mod. will cure it,as it sounds more serious.
I had a similar situation and it was a clutch pack sticking.
It could also be a compression band that won't release.
1st check your fluid & filter for color & debris.
