help needed identifying a tranny

Hello Guys
Picked up a real deal the other day. A 1977 302 from an old mercury car and it came with a tranny. I think its a C6 but i want a second opinion.
The number is PKA AG 17, 076062. Also, how would i be able to tell if it had AOD?
Thanks
Stu

the number of pan-bolts and the pan shape itself can give you/us a better clue. My guess as a 1977 302 car, would be a C4.

I have a small block C6 in my '79 Bronco. They're out there, but I agree that it was likely a truck or van that had them....and even then likely in the earlier 80's. I about spit up my pop with that 3rd post, lol.

Thank you guys. Really appreciate your help. If a car was ordered with a tow package, would it of come with a C6? Something I heard the other day, is all.
