Checking the numbers on my powerglide.
Using the data and examples here - https://www.camaros.org/drivetrain.shtml#trans
T8M22D
T - Toledo Powerglide
8 - 1967
M - August
22 - 22nd day of the month
D - Day shift
Is there anyway to identify the torque converter?
Thanks again!

Built quite a bit before your car. :)

I guess it would quite a stretch to say it's original to the car then.
Woops, I missed that it is dated 68 model year. Too late for your car, it would have been T7xxxx. :(
Unfortunate! I'm not familiar, no vin on Powerglides?
Being a 68, probably does have a VIN, probably near the bellhousing flange.
Safe to say, this is not the transmission that came in my car from the factory.
19Z327173 ?
I wonder what it came out of.
/edit Looks like it possible came from a 1969 El Camino assembled at the Fremont Plant.

Kurt,
I was a bit confused by the examples on the trans page.
QuoteExamples:
R7S21 Saginaw 4-speed, Nov 21, 1966
P8R01 Muncie M2x 4-speed, Oct 01, 1967
P9T11B Muncie M21 4-speed, Dec 11, 1968
C9D14N PowerGlide M35 2-speed auto,
Apr 14, 1969, night shift
In the case of manual transmissions the numbers seem to indicate a year early, but I see in the powerglides it is different.
No, that's the model year vs calendar year. https://www.camaros.org/geninfo.shtml#modelyear
The stamp must be T9M22D.

A close up of the stamping; it looks like an 8 tbh.

Duh, I figured it out. 69 trans that someone put a 68 pan on it.
