Default 700r4 Question

Can somebody please tell me the first production year that GM put a 700r4 in the Corvette?

Thanks,
Yellovette

82, but you want at least an 88 up if you are going to build one.

I've already got one installed in my 79', and it's working fine. The problem is I need to order a TV cable seal, and the dealer needs to know a year and model to order the part. I told him a seal for a 700r4 and he ordered the wrong part. I wasn't sure if 81' or 82 was the first year.

I have one as well.. I am using a Lokar cable. When doing new mods, the parts dealers always ask for years... The lokar was adjustabale for any application.. just what I needed.
