Its a lockup th350 (TH350C) late 70s 79 to around 84 and its a multi pattern , You can find the exact year from the VIN that is sometimes stapped on the bell around where the cover bolts up

That circle on the case right above the TCC connection, the one towards the front is a casting clock, it has the casting date on it. Looks like the pump was cast in '81.
It really doesn't matter, it's a th350C.

You can throw that one away. Its a lock up and is useless.

Same internals as a regular th350 except for the pump, input shaft and a few things around the VB.
The only disadvantage is converter selection.
You can convert it to a non lock up th350 with the pump, input, and a superior products kit. This will allow you to use a common th350/400 converter.
These transmissions also have torrington bearings in place of plastic or metal thrust washers (not that it matters that much).
If you need a pump and input out of a regular th350 why not use the whole regular th350???? Because you can find cores with broken cases for dirt cheap.

Exactly! Just find another. They are a dime a dozen!
