Transmission Identification Help

1966 B- and C-body with 318 or with 225 (police/taxi) is correct. This transmission has the A/LA V8 bellhousing. When used behind the 225, an adaptor package was used consisting of a bellhousing adaptor plate and a crankshaft to flexplate spacer (to account for the thickness of the bellhousing adaptor plate). The starter was in the low-mount (V8) location, bolted directly to the bellhousing -- the adaptor plate is cut out in this location to clear the starter. This same setup was used in all heavy-duty slant-6 automatic applications (police/taxi cars plus trucks and vans) until the 1968 advent of the A727RG transmission with the \6 bellhousing pattern.

This trans will work behind a '74 small block, but you must install the 1/8" annular spacer ring to fill the space between the '66-down small torque converter nose and the '67-up large crankshaft counterbore. You can get it from Pat "Torqueflite Patty" Blais, among other sources.

Dan, I don't think that info is correct, not sure, though.
The Trans you are thinking of, for use with the adapter was a 727, not a 904. That spacer/adapter ring will not work with a 904, the pilot is smaller then the 727.

The pilot on the 727 converter is the same size as the late (68 up) 904.
A 727RG trans will not fit a 67 older slant six, the converter pilot is too large.
A 727 for a small block will only fit a slant six with the adapter plate and crank adapter (67 down) and adding the annular bushing (68 up).
If I am wrong please correct me.

Edit: It was the original poster that mentioned the 904. This trans must be a 727LA. This trans will work behind the 74 small block without the annular crank bushing.
