>From what I've seen most Americans around here got an automatic when they got a 232. I've always thought that since it was an upgrade over the 199 or 196 that the automatic generally got installed along with the 232. I've seen the 232 standard combo a lot more often when they went into the classics as the upgrade engines on those are typically the V-8's. But, yeah the 232/auto is not a given, just a common way things were done. -- Mark Price Morgantown, WV 1969 AMC Rambler, 4.0L, EFI, T-5 2004 Grand Cherokee Laredo, 4.7L, Quadratrc II " Chronic Pain Hurts" -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: Jock J Jocewicz <namdra@xxxxxxxx> > Yes, 232's did come with standard trannies.
