Page 6 post # 51 of this thread:
" I have seen bell housings with much later casting dates than 7/30/56. "

Note that it says LATER than 7/30/56. That means AFTER July of 56.

From page 27 of PI Magazine Summer 1996 vol 33, no2. :
"...last THursday that Packard built cars, JUne 21 1956."

IF there are BELLHOUSINGS with casting dates AFTER JUly or even OF JUly then what were they used for?????? Studebakers??? Nashes????? Hudsons??????? My perhaps erroneous belief all along is that Studebakers and nashes and Hudsons with Packard V8's were all AUTOMATICS and NOt sticks.
