I think I may have solved this mystery! Here's the oddity; the '69 trans listed in the guide for your car, assuming we are talking about a '69 340 barracuda, would be # 2892089..... This is the only trans listed for a '69 340 barracuda. Now, looking at that application, it also lists '70 barracuda as well, so that tells us that it's a late trans, and they used other numbers for early '69 cars, yet there are no others listed in the guide. Now, let's look at the date code and sequence; assuming there are no missing numbers, your date code for assembly is 2954, which is Friday, August 29th, 1969, and yours was the 330th unit built that day. It certainly seems plausible to me that they were using up early trans numbers (2538388) that still fit the application (duty wise and physically), but the mystery in my mind is how could your car be built after 8/29/69. I say no way, no how. A trans build that late would have surely been either used in a '70 model car, or as a warrantee or Mopar parts counter replacement transmission, which is may more likely. It's also plausible to question the validity of the application guide, although it has been found to handy and relatively accurate with it's model reference. Any possibility your car had the trans changed out by the dealer when still under warrantee?? Keep in mind they were probably paying about $300 new for them back then, if that.

I picked up a trans today with the following stamp; G2464148 1598390 . Note 7 digits in the Julian and sequence, just like yours. My application was supposedly 383-4bbl in 1965 model year. Now decoder application guide says '65 late application 383-413-426-4bbl, date code is Sunday December 12, 1965, 390th unit built that day. Now, again, how can a trans built that late go in a '65 model year car, on the line? unless is a warrantee replacement unit? Anyone?
