So I am looking at this tranny correct for 67-68 Auto Hemi cars 2801544 I found this tranny and have alot of questions about pan rail number. I have never seen an H before the part number only a PK. Also it should have number 2 before the 333 for a date code, did it just not get stamped.

Blewbyu,
Just for comparison, my numbers are a bit faint but still readable. This is the original hemi trans for my 68 RR (May 68 build). PK2801544K 2413 0178 I had in my notes that it decoded to 6 March 1968, #178 built that day/shift. I have two 68 Hemi transmissions and the two 4s look identical like this one.

perhaps the date & unit # format was changed between the above February '68 & March '68 dated transmissions February 1 (1st week of month & weekly unit number) March 6 (dated daily & daily unit number) any close examples any engines?

'62 or '63 727 Max Wedge transmissionGalen's book is wrong on 62 and 63 max wedge trannys. 007 is the correct number for 63 model year cars. 007 was used in the 300J along with 63 max wedge cars. the second number is not a date code either as Galen has always suggested. It is simply a continuing assembly number that is carried on year after year. the C suggests it was assembled in the second half of the 62 calendar year. a D in front of it would indicate the first half of 63. then E and F would be the 64 model year, G and H would be the 65 model year, etc. I think your tranny could very well have been out of a 300J that was likely assembled late in 62 or early 63. it would fit a lot of max wedge cars built around the same time frame. it should be worth at least 500 hundred dollars to someone trying to make a maxie as correct as possible. C * 1962 D * 1963 E * 1964 F * 1965 G * 1966 H * 1967 J * 1968 0571745 10,000 day calendar 0571 = Tuesday 2/19/63 * ?? - unit # 745 (0)057 = Saturday 9/23/61 doesn't fit with 9/62 casting - unit # 1745 (1)057 = Friday 6/19/64 fits as a replacement part - unit # 1745 none of these fit with the "C" being full or second half of '62 calendar year

So when did PK start? What does it mean?
The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

I have heard that also, so the other transmissions were built where? My WAG is H = Harlem J = Jerico
