wish i'd taken a good close look at my '67 marlin when i had it!
232/auto, which tsm says was m37...

" Al good points Tom. One thing to point out is that if you move up to a later model trans you don't have the kickdown cable to fuss with. They just use manifold vacumm.
" Mark Price

there was a vac control on the m37 too!  i got a healthy 'discount' on
the marlin when i bought it because it 'wouldn't shift automatically'.
he was shifting it by hand, d1 and d2...  i suspected the vac line was
broken and it was stuck in full-throttle kickdown, and i was right.
when i took it to a shop, they charged me $35 for some new fittings
and it was right as rain.

" I'm almost positive the M37 has external cooling line fittings, but
" the M35 doesn't. I had a 63 and a 65 or 66 case, neither had cooling
" lines available. I'd bet if you ordered external cooling you got a
" M37. That would make sense, as you'd really only need external coling
" for towing apps, which would need the bigger engine (232 vs. 199) and
" tougher trans (M37 vs. M35). Just speculation at this point though. 

could be - but the '68 tsm only says 'm36 for 199, m37 for 232' and
'radiator trans cooler opt for 199 and 232'.  '67 10-50-80 tsm is the
same except no 199.  that makes one think the cases -could- be drilled
for cooling lines.

my '66 01 tsm makes no mention of radiator cooler, even in fleet/hd
equipt.
