833 OD Decode

[Jmac81d]

Just picked up a 833 OD transmission with stampings on the passenger side pad as follows.

"7B175015" the other stamping next to it is unreadable. There is 3 inch high
painted markings on the case and they are "873"

Could anyone help determine what this transmission came out of??
It has small diameter yoke also and a "Inland" shifter

Thanks, Jack

"7B175015" is the last part of the VIN of the car the trannywas installed in.

7 is 1977
B is Hamtramck assembly
175015 is the sequential IN of the car.

The "873" painted on the case is the last 3 numbers of the transmission assembly part number, which generally will be specific to a particular model and engine combination.

Mark.
