Hello All,
I just bought a blue 1970 Chevelle "Base." Has manual steering lol - that is going to change:) I am still learning about them. It has some minor rust in the front fenders, I guess I will replace those, and some minor rust in the rear quarter - above the wheel wells it is clean though. I paid $2800.

Anyways - what transmission did my car come with? It is an automatic - but I keep reading about a Powerglide and TH350. My car has the 307 in it and a 2bbl carb.

I am thinking about swapping in another motor, and from my understanding the TH350 bolts up to about anything LOL.

Thanks for having me! Thanks in advance!

if the lower front fender has the typical rust, I'd just get those repaired. I've seen how nicely some of the repop front fenders fit. I'm not a picky person yet I can clearly tell a repop. jim

Without a build sheet, it will be difficult to tell which transmission. Being it is probably a column shifted car, a TH350 will have D-2-1. A powerglide will have D-L.

Welcome to TC but WAIT before you order any P/S gear as there are much better upgrades available if you do a little research in the BRAKES and SUSPENSION forum.Read up about the Jeep Grand Cherokee swap or the other P/S swaps available.
