In 1968, 727 or 904?

Did 1968 B-body cars with 318 engine and Automatic transmission come with a 727 or 904?

904

904, but if your unsure, check the trans pan.

Thanks.

904 was standard with the 318 but the 727 was an option.

Just out of curiousity what was the first year for the 904?

[John_Kunkel]

The 904 was the first aluminum case TF, it was introduced in 1960 (two years before the 727). They were originally called TorqueFlite 6 and TorqueFlite 8....the was TF6 used only behind the /6 until '64.

When the 904 was first used behind the 273 V8 in '64 the term TF6 no longer applied and the current terms were adopted.

NICE to Know!!! that's something I allways wondered, because LOCALLY the 904 is still being called TF6

[John_Kunkel]

The TF6 terminology is still used by many parts makers because it covers all of the 904 variations like 904, 998, 999, 30RH, 31RH, 32RH.
