C-4 tag

Well-known member
anyone here able to decode this C-4 tag for me? The tag reads PEE-C all I have been able to find out is that it is supposed to be a "67 trans behind a 289 V8, but have not been able to find out what body style. Maybe a galaxie, but not sure. I am trying to find out so I can purchase a complete rebuild kit and a stock converter for it. I bought the trans as a loose core for a project which is why I have no converter or information as to what it came out of. I do know that it was a column shift because of the linkage on the transmission. Also looking for a recommendation for a supplier of a kit and converter. my local parts guy ( who normally is very good and been in the business for 30 years) is having trouble IDing the tag # and any suppliers for a converter. He says the supply for cores to rebuild is getting very scarce in the lower 48. I am looking for stock components, does not need to be high performance. Thanks,--- Jim

PEE-C is indeed the code for a 1967 Mustang. But if it is a column shift, it would not have come from a Mustang. All 1967 Mustangs were floor shift cars. Could be someone repurposed a Mustang C4 for a column shift application? Or possibly (but more unlikely) someone swaped tags.

PEE-C is specific to Mustangs. The tag would have a different code if it was a C4 out of a diffent model.

The tag should have additional data that might help to further identify the original application for the transmission. Here's an example. "D5Z" on the example tag decodes:
"D"=1970 (decade)
"5" = 5th year (1975)
"Z" =Mustang

Fairlanes and Falcons had column shift, and both had 289s as an optional engine choice in '67. Might also have come from a '67 Comet with column shift. But yeah that D5ZDA - ?? '75 C4? Lots can happen in 50+ years.

Mercury is not included in that Ford list. Some Cougars had the steering wheel that hinged out of the way so that was what made me think it was like an old T-Bird. They were going for a different type of customer with the Mercury line up.

CJ Pony parts and maybe others have the correct selector shaft for C4s. The valve body has to be removed but that shouldn't be a big issue. I think the price is near $85.00.

Stephenorf, I also found that chart , and the little yellow astrix indicates that the information is not confirmed, at least that is the way I read it. That is what made me question the Mustang application since it does not have the floor shift linkage. It is as others have said , maybe a fairlane or Galaxie because no Mustang ever came with a column shift, and a lot may have been changed around since this trans was originally made. Thank you all for the information and input.---Jim
 
There should be more information on the tag. If you ge the rest of the tag info it whould clarify for which year/model the trans was originally built.
 
That is all the info on the tag. all that is stamped into it is PEE-C nothing else. I ca not find anu other onfo on the transmission. Thanks for your help
 
If you want a floor shift like the Mustang or possiblt other similar Fords then just get the selector shaft. Ford made a lot of the C4s but a person just needs the right parts to make it work.

If it has a lock up converter then there should be evidence of that for the later types. The main thing is the spline count. You can get a torque converter for them aftermarket but if you have one that's rebuildable then it should be easy to ID it by characteristics. The aluminum casting marks will tell if it's a C7 for 1967/69 or a later D0 which is 1970. It doesn't matter as much about what it came out of unless it's an early 5 bolt for 64 and 65 models. Most are 6-bolt but the bells are removable. Do some research and it should become apparent what application it is.
