Looks like it might be a '78 transmission. Check your casting numbers.

Yes, I know it is a 1978. What casting numbers are you referring to.

Can someone tell from the VIN what type car this came out of?

1304 065 903

1304 066 901

1304 097 901

These are 1977-78 casting numbers.

The WJ1882 is not the VIN number of the car it came out of.

That is the application stamp as follows:

W = Warner Gear Division
J = Assembly Month (September)
18 = Assembly day (18th)
8 = Assembly Year (1978)
2 = Production Shift (2)

Look for a stamp something like 18N100005, which would break down as

1 = Chevrolet
8 = 1978
N = Production Plant
100005 = production number sequence

Here is a link to a web site that describes all of this.
