'69 Turbo 400 code?

[SS427]

YENKO DEUCE,
Thanks for the quick reply. Based on several facts, I am quite sure this is a '69 transmission. Number 1, the tag shows (69) for '69 "model" year, not necessarily the year of assembly. Page 288 of Alan Colvins "By the numbers" book states, "The assembly date code for the 1969 model year starts with the first day of the calender year 1968 and continues into the 1969 model year". I don't have that 3 digit date code in front of me, but based on the 69 in the top left corner of the tag, it is a 69 tranny as well as that is the car it is in. I will try to get that 3 digit date code. It does also has a VIN number stamped on the tranny that matches the '69 cars number.

Also, I believe the yellow tags were normally on the high perf trannys. I am at a total loss.
