Can anyone tell me what a code " W ' on my data plate is for a transmission on a 1973?
According to a Ford 73 car shop manual, the W stands for a C4 automatic.
Thanks. It is an automatic. Not sure it is a c-4. Any easy way to tell the difference between a c-3 and a c-4?
Yea in 40 year cars, parts do get swapped around. The C4 has 11 pan bolts while the C3 has 13. This link has some more details.
