Muncie sidecover differences
What is the difference between the 3884685 sidecover that is on my 65 Muncie and the 3831707 that is suppose to be on it? Should I change to a 3831707 if I can find one? I do understand that these numbers are not judged.
Thanks for your input.

.... And (most visible) the pin that holds the "scissors" detent cams has a wider "nail head" shape on the '685'.

And if for no other reason, I wouldn't change it. The early pins without the shoulders could/would work themselves inside the transmission and you can imagine what happened next.

AMEN!! That happened to me a couple months ago. The good new? I got schooled on how to rebuild a Muncie and replaced the press in pin with a nail head one (direct replacement) so I won't have THAT happen again.
