Transmission number plate??????

Post by furnitureguy-123 »

O.K. fellas, help me out here. These are the numbers off of my id plate on the side of the trans. HEF CH 088686. What does this mean. I looked through the tech section and they only list a HFF model. I am almost certain the middle letter is an "E", and not an "F". The trans code on my vin plate is a "C". :? I am soooo confused.

I have seen lots of HEF transmissions, but never an HFF one, so I think the HFF is a typo.

The HEF number is the REAL number, just like the RAN and RUG numbers are real numbers.

Thank you. I did finally find a site that listed the HEF CH trans as the correct trans for a 66 LD F100.
Thanks for your answers.
