The casting number is: 3733373
The date code(?)looks like: L 1 6
Other marks: GM1
I'm really trying to determine what year this is and whether it's a truck or passenger car bell housing. Any help would be greatly appreciated! | | |

Quite often casting numbers are not the same as part numbers. Could you give us some more clues, is it a V8 or 6 housing, does it have an angled mounting surface or is the mount surface parallel to the ground, is there one hole in each mount pad or two? | | |

The mounting pad surfaces are slightly angled and there is only one bolt hole in each mounting pad. Does that help at all? I will try to post a pic tomorrow. | | |
