thank you all for the replies. ok so here are the numbers I found today. Engine by #8 cylinder 9790079, passenger side of block 0376585 YF, Trans on servo cover passenger side 69 JF 199 D , drivers side 11-68 25 538 , intake manifold 9794234. I did find two cut wires from the firewall near the distributor. So can I run the car without the detent cable hooked up or will it damage the trans?
