Also, "P" doesn't indicate Pontiac. It indicates a Muncie 4 speed transmission for passenger cars (except the Corvair).

The P works up to 1967 early 68. Then they changed that to HI (CHEVY) code if it was a special order such as a 396SS they put the P in the third digit "HIP". The case and tail numbers where put together by Pontiac. I have one in my garage. I know it came out of a GTO. Tony

Tony,

I'm not sure where you got your information from, but I don't think it's correct. I've never heard of this and there's nothing in any of my reference material mentioning the "HI" or the "HIP" codes. "Chevy By the Numbers" has no info on these as well.

The "P" was used on the Muncie 4 speed (aluminum case) starting in the late 1963 model year (for Corvettes), up through the 1974 model year.

Although there are a lot of good WEB sites with Muncie info in them, HERE'S ONE I found doing a quick Google search. Others might chime in with more.

You should also pick up a copy of Alan Colvin's books, "Chevy By the Numbers" series. They have a TON of great info in them, and Alan's even a member of the Camaro Research Group.

Yep, he wrote it. This is why this site is so cool. I would have been trying to find a trans. with that code. I got engough of that right now. I rescued a 1968 Chevelle 396SS from a field. Tony
