k member id, anyone know what a 12 coin on e body k mbr means???

[hemimaster]

have a factory k member with a 12 embossed on the front coin attached at the factory and would like to know if it means anything? Thanks!

The # on the coin is the last two digits of the part number. 12 refers to early 1970 E-body 318,340 and 383. No skid plate.

Thanks! but are you saying a small block and big block k member is the same in all non V and R and TA coded cars?

1970 V and R codes (Hemi and 440 six pack) got a skid plate on the bottom of the K member.  Hemi has a special K member (14 or 76 stamped coin) and V codes were a standard V8 K member with skid plate (77 or 74 stamped coin).  T/A & AAR received a non skid plate K member (like all of the K members) with a coin stamp of 52 (also used in 318, 340, & 383's).

Thanks! but are you saying a small block and big block k member is the same in all non V and R and TA coded cars?

To simplify...YES Big block and Small block can use the same K member. Hemi and six cylinder can not.

Looked at a '68 Barracuda Formula S 340 last month and the seller mentioned something about a "washer" on the k-member but then couldn't find it. "Washer", "coin", the same thing I suppose. So where on the k-member is this "coin" typically attached? Thanks.

On the front face of the K-member.
