It's me again, hoping to make sure I'm IDing parts correctly. Is this the correct A833OD bell housing? It's listed as out of a 1980 Van with a 225, but the transmission type isn't listed. I've asked the seller to provide casting numbers that I can possibly reference, but he hasn't gotten back to me yet. It looks correct from my google image searches and the 4 speed article, but any validation is appreciated.

Yes. The A230 3-speed will also fit.

Measure the diameter of the hole in back, the one where the transmission registers. It should be a bit over 5". If it's under, it is not for an OD 833

I asked him to as that was my thought for confirmation. I'll see if I can get him to do it when I call back tomorrow.

Looks right to me. IIRC, the hole diam is 5.125"

When you call ask for the clutch release fork, fork boot and the dust cover for the bottom.

Yes, it's right around 5-1/8". But I find that my level of disappointment increases radically when I ask a seller to measure anything in smaller than 1" increments.

I once asked a seller on Ebay to tell which side of the car a bracket was for. He replied "It's goes on the North side."

Yes, good point, Greg. I understood you were trying to make it easy on the seller, just throwing out the spec number...

I did, those parts didn't manage to stay with it :(. I did get them to cut the price in half because of it, but I'll still need to hunt down the dust cover and a engine to bell bracket, I just have an automatic one.
