TH400 Decoding Help

Hello,
I would like to buy a TH 400 for my 1966 C10 496 Stroker Projekt. Now I have one in Germany I would like to buy. The Application Code is 73 EA.
I think it comes out of a 1973 Opel Diplomat B with the 327 SBC. I cant find any Information about it.

Greetings from Germany.

Nils

TH-400
The TH-400 transmission debuted in 1964 Cadillacs. All GM full size vehicles used TH-400's from 1965 and onward. The book How to work with and Modify the Turbo Hydramatic 400 Transmission (recommended) gives a complete list of GM division usage codes. The breakdown is as follows:

B: Buick
A: Cadillac
C: Chevrolet
O: Oldsmobile
P: Pontiac
C, F: Chevrolet/GMC truck use C until 1980, then use mostly F until 1988

More exotic brands that came with Turbo 400s (knowing it was the best in the business and/or couldn't manage to make a decent transmission themselves):

MA: 1984-88 AM General 4WD Military Truck
FV: 1981-82 Avanti with 350 V-8; Excalibur (?)
N: 1973-82 Checker
FE, FG: 1977-80 Ferrari (V-12)
E: 1971-78 Holden (never heard of this ... anyone?)
Z: 1976-88 Jaguar
K and J: 1965-79 Jeep
EA: 1969-76 Opel Diplomat
RV: Revcon Motor Home
R: 1966-88 Rolls Royce
ET, EV: 1977-88 Volvo Truck
