Default 4 speed trans

Just pulled my trans out of my 73. Notice i got one plug to fill and another plug to drain. Is this common on 73 trans 4 speed?

Not sure when they started to put a lower drain plug on, but if you post the VIN number off of your trans., we can at least tell you the year. It should be factory stamped on the drivers side, on a machined vertical pad directly in front of the tail housing.

Before 70, usually only the M22 had a drain plug.
For 70 and up, all Muncies should have a drain plug.
