No help with the forging numbers, but come Spring I can pull the cover and check my two spare transmissions. But as there were 3 different transmissions used in 1932, it still might be a 32 trans? I'm curious whether it's a 3 speed synchro unit, the 4 speed non-synchro, or the 4-speed synchro. We're told that the Light Eight and Twin Six came with the 3-speed synchro right from the start while the Eight and DeLuxe 8 continued with the prior 4-speed non-synchro for a while, and the (rare) 4 speed synchro unit was supposedly only offered for a very short time in 1932, only on Eights and DeLuxe 8s, before being abandoned.
