Larry The transmission casing ( housing ) should be that good looking alum/ silver colour that MoPar used during that era. Look on the casing for a stamped number. Is the number 1854167, 1949277, 2204753 or 2204693 ? The higher the number the newer and more heavy duty the transmission is. The Powerflite was dropped from Imperials as soon as the three speed arrived.
