Bob, It's a 1968 Chevey, backed by a 396
C.I.D.
I'll have to get my manual out and tell
you
how to make it comparable to a CB. 427 C.I.D. 390
HP used in 1969. I'm busy with family today. The Easter Bunny is coming over
today.

the
tag on my 400 has a large c on the left side of the tag and a large a on the
right side of the tag and down belo is 68

It's not much but at least you'll know something about it. Your trans was
installed in a Chevy or GMC pick-me-up. It was backed up by a 350 c.i.d.
engine. Probably 255 horse power with a four barrel. Hope this helps you.
Very good trans and VERY upgradeable. A simple change of wave plates and a
couple of other parts and you got a trans that will handle lots of power. If
your interested let me know. I'll tell you what you need.Rich

Speed to Automatic (ATTN: Kent) Rich, No, I do not have the
original torque convertor. The transmission was acquired through a
"core exchange" back in 1988 from a gentleman that rebuilt transmissions
in his spare time. It has the tag on the passenger side, but
I have not been able to locate a pad on the passenger's side.
There is a pad on the driver's side, towards the middle (front-back) right
above transmission pan, that looks like what you were referring
too. Only there is no number, or any sign of a previous stamping
(?). Since the trans has been rebuilt, at least twice now, perhaps
the valve body has been altered/changed since it was
new. Perhaps it was an"over-the-counter"
trans or a warranty exchange. Corvette ? If you find out
anything, please let me know. You have my curiosity
peeked. Kent'68 Malibu

#5102 Kent, I
still can't find a CT trans code. This is very strange. Do you have the
original torque converter? On it will be 1 or 2 letters stamped on it.
Give me those letters and I will be able to tell you at least if it was a
high performance. If you have the part # from the valve body I can look
that up also. We used about 10 or 11 different valve bodies for different
applications. I should clear something up for the list. When I said all
transmissions for Chevy started with a "C" I was talking about 400 THM and
375's. The 350 can have just about any prefix letter. Also on your 400
Kent, on the passenger side just above the pan will be a machined pad.
There will be a vin. # there stamped at the car plant. This is the car the
trans went into. You may be able to get some information from that number.
Other than that, I can't help much more. BUT my curiosity is piqued on the
"CT" code and I will continue to search this out. Sorry, that's the best I
can do.Rich
