I think it’s correct. Hard tag to find.

Are we talking for Z28 or L78? Because depending on axle ratio there are differences.

Post by: john302 on October 10, 2021, 02:19:25 PM: Its the assembly line m22 transmission from the L89 that was just discovered .

The stamping on the trans is probably just as important as the tag. I know you won’t get a ratio code on a 68, but there are ways to tell if the gear set is original.

Tags are out there. So it’s not a definite indicator.

I would have to look at the A.I.M. to see which tag was being used at that assembly time.

Title: Re: 1968 m22 id tag
Post by: john302 on November 01, 2021, 12:31:00 PM: Car is in great original condition . Talked to the original owner . Its a local legend in my area. When the engine was removed in the mid seventies the car disappeared . Until the engine was found .

Post by: bcmiller on January 15, 2022, 04:28:14 PM: Having a transmission tag is nice, but not needed if you have the partial VIN stamped on the trans. If that tag was with the transmission, it is likely original.

What is the axle ratio of the car? 4.56 ?
