are you sure its a saginaw? most I seen have been muncie or borg-warner.... a saginaw would not hold up to the turque a factory poncho puts out...but being a 80 model its possible

Just to respond about the tranny...  all 1980 TA's were originally automatics due to the gov. regulations for that year.   So it has definatly been swapped out.

Looks like it rolled on the roof and somebody tried to weld/skew something back on.



Best of luck to the new owner - seriously, hope he/she's able to salvage it.
