A Body 4 Speed ID Help

[purple70rt]

Hey Guys,

Have an a body 4 speed, but can't find out much about it.  numbers on id pad are pp63 4213.  I think the 4213 is the date.  It's a cast iron one, just need to know if it's an a833 and make sure it's not an overdrive one.  Has a casting number on housing 99129.  I believe it's from a 73 something as the pad also has a partial vin 3b380219.

Thanks in advance!!
Dale

3b380219 is the partial VIN of a '73 car built at the Hamtramck plant. The first part is PP833, 4213 is the build date February 8, 1973.
OD 833's didn't arrive until '75 so it's a regular 4-speed.
