Default Help Decoding T56

Hi there, I was hoping someone might have some insight into what year vehicle this T56 transmission came out of, I know it is an LT transmission from the pics, however I was told to stay away from the 93 LT T56, and there is a LT t56 on Craigslist for 900 but the only markings on it are 13-86-066-904 on the tailshaft and 13-86-065-902 on the main case. The white sticker has decayed beyond legibility. I do not see any tag, however I have only seen pics. I have been searching the web all day and have been unsucessful, I would appreciate any help from anyone that knows more than I. Thanks

Those are casting numbers and don't help as all Fcars had those. You need the tag info.

put it in 1st gear.
Spin the output exactly 3 times.
If the input spins 10 times, it's 1993 M28 (2.73 rear gear, 3.36 first gear)
If the input spins 9 times, it's 1993 M29 (3.23 rear gear, 2.97 first gear)
If the input spins 8 times, it's 1994 MM6 (3.42 rear gear, 2.66 first gear)
