Bought another Hemi 4 speed listed as a 833

No 4spds in 69 Cudas, all automatics
69 Cudas with a 383 or 340 could be ordered with a four speed, 23 spline. Although mine was Formula S not a Cuda, still the Cuda option could be ordered with a four speed.

My understanding is because a 440 4 barrel or 440 3x2 barrel and 426 hemi 4spd car demanded a Dana rear and mother mopar did not have an A body Dana, the management decided to make them all automatics. I suspect this decision was made based on low production numbers and co$t ??
 
ALL 440 4 barrel, 440 Six Pack and 426 Hemi 4 speed cars got the 18 spline ''Hemi'' 4 speed transmissions and a Dana 60 rear end.
NO EXCEPTIONS!
I need to dig down in my files. I thought the 440 4 speeds, was an option for the Dana. The other two are correct. Could not get the Dana option in the 440 auto.

My understanding is all 440, 440 +6 and 426 hemi, stick cars came standard equipped with a Dana. Also I believe you could special order a Dana if not equipped at extra cost of course.
 
So what did hemi a body's have
Where they all autos too
The Hemi Darts and Cudas came both auto and stick. I believe they were equipped with a B body Dana but not 100% positive. Never lucky enough to own one. The wheel wells were enlarged on the darts to accommodate tire clearance. Maybe someone else who's more knowledgeable on these factory SS cars can elaborate or correct me on this. This info is based on my 67 year old memory.
