I see Muncies are to have a small metal tag with numbers, how do those numbers differ from the primary case casting numbers?
Thank you.
Thank you.
70 Muncie tag, what does it indicate vs casting numbers?

The metal tag has the actual GM part number on it. The tag on an M20 will be different from a tag for M21 or M22. The case casting numbers are the part numbers for just the case, not the complete tranny. For a given year, the M20, M21, and M22 would use the same case so would have the same number.

Thank you again COPO, and CLM
Not completely correct. There were two distinct M22s in 1970. 3978766 WO was the large output tailshaft M22 as used in the Chevelles/El Caminos, etc. The M22 used in the 1970 Camaro was the small diameter output shaft and the PN tag reads 3968012 WM. (I know, weird it's the same number as the M21 discontinued in March 1970, but with the "WM" suffix added. This has been verified by an unrestored 22k original mile 70Z previously owned by Jack Seymour.
My Muncie M20 factory marking. Norwood 70 Z28.
Here's a picture of the 3968012WM tag on my L78 with M22 trans.
