how to tell what a-833 i have

[khenrichs70]

I just got a a-833 for an a body to put in my dart. It is an iron unit and on the right side pad it is stamped B150645. I might need to clean it some more or is this right any help would be great
Thanks Kyle

Should be more numbers stamped in the pad. Something like:

PP833 xxxx xxxx

There should be a number in front of the "B" in the one you posted.

there is a pp83 5246 the 6 might be an 8
and the big number is 6b150645
the pp83 might have another 3 but it is not very clear
Now i think it is an overdrive unit becouse the first shifter lever the one by the bellhouseing is upside down
Can i take gears from a b-body four speed and put them in my a-body if i need to

The date code (5246) says its a mid 70's, and PP833 is logical. The 6B... says year 76
OD is likely

Put it in forth gear and turn the input shaft 1 turn and the output shaft should turn approx. 1 and 1/4 turns for an Overdrive. Then you'll know for sure.

well i measured the front bearing cover and it is 5.125 so it is an overdrive unit, so now i am torn to tear it apart or try to move it.
if i get a b-body a-833 can i just change the output shaft and tail houseing?

Yes you can use the tail and main shaft and swap them out.

Yes you can use the tail and main shaft and swap them out.

in this case no he can't , the mainshaft for an OD is smaller where 3rd gear rides .
