In fact all my parts books for larger series show the same illustration including the larger bell housing part number 696559 or 696561. Over the years I've bought several GMC V6's ranging up to the 478 with bell housing and one that came with an adapter housing because it had an Allison automatic behind it.
did I say manual trans. I believe that I said a/trans which is usually an abbreviated version standing for automatic transmission.
