Re: engine and trans pad stamps
67 and prior Chevelles did NOT get the same stamp dies on the trans and the engine. A couple of the plants had gotten more uniform by the end of 67 production with the use of gang holders, but even then the dies in the two stamps were not always the same. I cannot speak for 68 and later, but there is no question about it for 67 and prior.

That is some great knowledge to learn! The restoration shop that worked on my cuda specialized in the 66-67 chevelle area. I cant wait to ask them about the stamps on the cars they have done and the ones they are doing (engine vs trans) [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]
