If it has a removeable bellhousing made of aluminum and the body is cast iron it is an FMX....if aluminum body it is a C-4....and all one piece with cast in bellhousing it is a C-6.

If the case is cast iron is should be rusty....or a dark grey color and a magnet will stick to it.

I can tell by looking but I don't have any concrete clues to give you because I haven't messed with an FMX in many years but if your car is a 69 351 Windsor and it is a stock transmission them it is an FMX.

The FMX bellhousing is also bolted to the main case with 4 bolts, C-4 uses 6 if I remember correctly.
