i'll try this again but without copy and paste.... I have an automatic transmission from behind a Y-block with the tag PAZ-7003-A. i do know it's a "small case". Any idea what year this is, and is it a Ford-o-matic or Cruise-o-matic? Thanks!

My parts book says that it is 1957 3 speed Ford-o-matic from 292-2V.

My Ford parts book agrees with Tero.
I'll add that the PAZ-A transmission was the only automatic used behind the '57 292 engine and is listed for use in passenger cars only. The '57 'C' code T-Birds had the 292 engine, but came equipped only with a 3 speed standard transmission.
It amazes me that there were so many different auto. transmission I.D. numbers for the different '57 Ford applications!
- The 312 police interceptor and 312 station wagons used a different trans. I.D. number (PBA-B) than the passenger car 312; I've been told there's and additional disc in the transmission clutch pack.
- The 272, 292, and 312 passenger car transmissions each have a different I.D. number. (PAZ-C, PAZ-A, PAZ-D, respectively)
- The automatic in the 312 'Birds had a different I.D. number (PBA-C) than the passenger car 312, probably in part due to the mechanical linkage coming out of the case of the 'Bird being different than the passenger car, but I've also been told that like the police interceptor and the 312 station wagon, there's an additional disc in the clutch pack for this trans.
- The 312 dual quad and supercharged 312 passenger car trans. (PBA-F) have a different I.D. number than the 312 trans. used in the passenger car that came with a single quad.
- The 312 dual quad and supercharged 312 'Bird trans. (PBA-E) have a different I.D. number than the 312 trans. used in the 'Birds that came equipped with a single quad.
I wonder IF there's a difference in the auto trans. valve body for the dual quad and supercharged applications???
Oh, and Ford used two different I.D. numbers for the automatics behind the 223 six cylinder. One for the 6 cylinder passenger cars (PAY-A)and one for 6 cylinders ordered as taxis (PAY-C)!
Soooo! All '57 Ford automatics are NOT the same!
