Take a look again at the transmision numbers. The 8s are probably Bs which would give you P1B27B which would translate to P=Muncie 1= 71 model B27= build date of Feb27 and B=M21. Also if the transmission is original it will have your VIN stamped on it also.

differential: AB = 3.70
W = Warren plant
The last 3 digits are supposed to be the day of the year followed by the shift which is either, 1, D or N, so "E2" does not compute!

Dosen't the E on the diff stand for eaton, then 29 would be 29th day of year. Which is OK with Feb 27 for trans. Assembly date of car might be March.

E is Eaton Positraction and the 2 is the shift. For comparison here's the code from my 71 LT-1, ABW089E2. 89 = March 30. My car was assembled in April.
