Default decode transmission tag

I have 68 vert with 327-4 speed and would like to know what
this tag numbers are telling me. The tag is 3915090, no letters
on this tag. The tag is off the transmission.
The reason i need to know is that i need a new reverse "T"
assembly. Paragon shows reverse T rod for a 68 is 8 1/2" long
and for a 69 is 9 1/2" long. The one in mine that broke or came
loose and came out is 9 1/4" long. Also just in case i need more
parts for the shifter mechanision i would like to know if this is
a 69 transmistion or a 68. Paragon shows two shifter assembly
1968 thru 1976 and another one 1969 thru 1976. Some what
confusing.



All help would be appreciated,
thanks joe

I don't know about the transmission, but the tag 3915090 indicates 1968 M21 with L79 (per A.I.M.). If the transmission is original to the car, you'll find the partial VIN on the passenger side, along with the transmission build date.

I looked at ZIP and they show a rebuild kit for 68' ONLY and another for 69-76.
