DonMicheletti Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I cant quite read the casting number in your photo. The casting number on my '38-46s transmission is 1301637-2Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danhar1960 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 The torque ball looks different from memory. It doesn't look like it's set up for an enclosed torque tube. Maybe GM, but I don't think it's Buick.Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for for your fair misgiving .Sorry about that mate,Seems I need to spend more time around my '38. Poor old girl never really gets looked at.My New Years resolution is to spend more time on the Buicks.(Sadly, that was also last years resolution but bloody life keeps getting in the way :)Hope it all turns out well for you Jenz.Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
