    I found out that my spare valve body was made back in 72, would it work in a 74' C4 transmission?

    I am not 100% certain, but I am near enough to 100% to say that I'd sure try it. My 77 model C4 has a much older valve body.

    As long as they are both C4 models, I wouldn't think there would be a problem.

    I bought a stock valve body from Frank or someone on here, and he never asked me "what year is yours?" before selling it to me.

    It fit.
