Works now. Did want to mention that Marcus also recently did a toploader article that does include some paint mark infromation but mostly is focused on other finishing details. Mine was created just for the paint mark subject
For the easy ones
- Bottom pictures shows the GAZ stamp identified the RUG-AZ transmission. Identified as a transmission for a 428 CJ in 70.
RUG-AZ is visible on the transmission tag and was listed on the buildsheet
- Second from the bottom. Sometimes we find a short stubby line or daub in that location. Two different colors have been documented - yellow being one.
The rest of the "writing" to this point is unexplained and not very consistent other than general patterns. Like yours
-Typically there is a large single number in bold yellow. Yours appears to be a "2" under the GAZ stamp location. Years ago I provided a -AV stamp and a couple of others to the 428 Cobra Jet website so they could loan it between members. Might want to check over there as to who has it currently. Hopefully it didn't get lost somewhere. Did the same for the Boss 302 site for the same reasons.
https://www.428cobrajet.org/forum/index.php?topic=23135.msg155373#msg155373- The blueish green marking on the forward bottom of the transmission is often applied closer to the filler but they didn't care where it was and likely was chosen depending on how the main case was sitting on the bench or could have been a result of a left handed worker compared to a right handed application.
I would suggest for these freehand marks that you use rice or copy/trace paper, save them and reapply them as found on you restored transmission. If you want to check for one markings check the tail shaft housing, the forward flange (where the trans sits against the bell housing on the drivers side as shown in the Library article I mentioned
In addition you will find an article in the
Library about typical markings
Hope this helps
