Another Muncie I D
I was reading the recent thread on the ID of a Muncie trans. It got me looking at the trans stamp on my 71.
What do you guys make of the letter re-stamp? Is it as simple as being tagged wrong and then fixed? The car isn't running, so nothing to be gleaned from driving it. Anybody seen one like this?

A better photo of the stamped area would help... Might be some other things going on there.

I've seen transmission restamp before... They typically don't look like that, but that's not to say it didn't happen on this particular transmission like this. What surprises me is the 660 case... Those were phased out around October 1969.

Didn't Alan post a pic? I can't remember but I don't think his pad looked like mine does. Here are a couple more pics. The numbers match my VIN.

That would be great. It sure looks like something was directly under the trans stamp and then removed/covered, but what could you even use to make marks like that in cast AL?
