When I look at the trans marks I can't understand why the underlying "7" is to the left of the top stamp and the "8" seems to be to the right. Does the curve of the vertical leg of the "7" also appear a different radius to anyone else. First digit on trans needs a close look.

Keep in mind that the U.A.W workers were not taught to be meticlics(SP?) workers and super precise on their work, production came first, not stamping quality Last edited by Cab_Burge; 09/24/22 02:56 PM.
