    Did the 400 turbo trans in 70 gs have a BA stamp originally on the case ? And if so we’re they all BA or were stage ones BB stamp , what did it stand for Buick automatic

    Yes - The cases came with a two letter stamp on the bell housing. They must have used ink or cheap paint, as, I always lose the markings during clean up. I think there was also color coding, too. I can not confirm the color coding, though.

    All GM Divisions used the first letter of the division. The second letter is for year/model differences.
    A=Cadillac (also used C on some models)
    B=Buick
    C=Chevrolet
    O=Oldsmobile
    P=Pontiac
    R=Rolls Royce (some RVs' used R)
    F was used for large trucks, motorhomes, buses and such
    F was used for Avanti
    E was used for Volvo trucks
    M was used on Military HMMV and some other vehicles (I actually used a NOS HMMV valve body in my '68 Skychicken (put a '67 Electra ST400 so the newer valve body provided better 1/2 and 2/1 shift functions)
