M22

[COPO]

Maybe they found a tranny sitting around that was missed on the original install date and wanted to use up the left over stock.

The Car was delivered in April. I am awaiting the body tag and will revert with the build date when I get it.

Thanks for the assistance.

So, if I hear you correctly you are saying that the car may not have an April build date? And that it may be earlier?

I also gather that the car and the cowl tag (body tag) are not, at this moment together. There's a story in that for sure

 

[Patrick73RS]

GM of Canada documentation is there (which says delivered April), just awaiting the body tag to confirm. Obviously the numbers on the power train need to be checked but I do have the M22 number and it is listed on the post.

I thought that December may be too early however with the way things were inconsistent back in the day you can never tell.

Would not this POT01C date code M-22 have been assembled Dec 1, 1970 ??? ......so how would it be correct for ANY 1970 Camaro.

This Muncie would have been installed in a 1971 built vechicle.

If 70N or 70L and the last 6 digits of your VIN is on the tranny then you have the orig tranny.

So the POT01C code would be fine for an April 70 Z-28 then?

No.....not if your car is an April date, and the trans is a December date of the same year.

But I've got an April '71 car it would work in

Uhh, no.
It would have been assembled on December 1st 1969 for the 1970 Model Year (as December 1969 is, roughly, in the middle of the 1970 Model Year) Because stamped assembly dates show the Model year and not the calendar year (and this stamping clearly has an "0" in it, clearly indicating the 1970 Model year).

That's how it could "...be correct for ANY 1970 Camaro." and why it would not :

Like I said, the NCRS takes that into account in their judging guidelines - so it is always possible. I'll be curious to see how it all lines up - keep us up to speed.

P0T01C.....I thought this code pertained to the transmission assembly date, not the car. Help a brother understand....

From the NastyZ28.com transmission decoding info....

Transmission Code Example: P0C27A - (1970 Muncie 4 speed, assembled March 27, (M20 w/2.52 1st gear)

I take this to mean this "example" transmission was "assembled" on March 27, 1970......not March 27, 19?? for a 1970 model year car.
