I bought a "project" Swinger 340 4 speed over the weekend. The motor is a 69 340 with X heads, but the I'm not sure what the 4 speed trans is. Casting numbers are C99129 and C13212-2 and numbers on the pad are PP8335298 and 6B198248. Can anyone decode that for me? Also there is a shifter on Ebay that shows part numbers of RE25561 and 29041M. Is that a correct Hurst shifter for a 69 bench 4 speed Swinger? Thanks a ton for any help. Dave
 
It was built mostly likely the end of January, 1976 which I believe makes it an OD unit.

"PP833" designates an A833 4-speed, "5298" is Chrysler's manufacture dating system.
7-29-1961 is 0001, so your tranny was built 5297 days after that, which I think is January 29, 1976.
 
"6B198248" is the last 8 of the VIN number.
The "6" designates 1976 (vehicle it came out of), the "B" designates Dodges main plant in Hamtramck,MI. "198248" I believe is the sequential serial number of the car.
 
OK....thanks. Couple more questions: Is it an A body trans (looks like a short shaft)? Is it a "good" trans....good match for 69 340 motor (similar to stock)? Is overdrive good to have vs non overdrive?
 
If it is a short shaft it is likely a A body but you should post a some pics to be sure. It is probably best to let others comment on the suitability of OD versus standard gearing as I have no direct experience.

I am sure that the search function will turn up some interesting threads.
