I finished my 68 camaro this summer and have a dew parts left over to sell. Does anyone out there know what a 68 Aluminum Body Powerglide and torque converter is worth? It worked fine when I pulled it out. Thanks.

If it came from a V8, its a 1.76:1. L6's have a 1.82:1.

Another tip is a V8 will have a silver input shaft. L6 will have black input shaft.

Measure the input shaft tip to tip...you can pull it right out through the front pump with the trans still assembled...if it is a 1.82 it will be 12 5/8" and if from a 1.76 it will measure 12 7/8".

Yes, it will. Stand the trans up on its output shaft, either use the shaft to center the thrust washer, or use a long screwdriver to center the thrust washer, then insert the shaft.
