Most times, the only "Codes" that most people know by heart are the rarest ones.

There is the "Bible" of coding and number crunching by Galen Govier. Google it..This is how 90% know the codes they know.

1969 dodge Charger "General Lee"         [___|______I______|___]                        
1968 Dodge Dart 2dr sedan 505" Stroker    (O]=0==========0=[O)

Hi Mulethras, you can also google "Mopar fender tag codes" and get a host of websites.  Keep in mind that not all you see on the internet is correct but you'll definately get a good idea of what the code might be.  Also keep in mind some of the codes may carry across different lines of cars; for B-bodies(Charger, Road Runner, etc..) or E-body (Challenger, Barracuda) or even C-Body (Fury, Newport), etc...

Here's a site to give you an idea of the codes:

1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

Do you have a pic of your fender tag?  We can point out the highlights for you as best we can.

Take a look at this link, might be helpful.  :thumbsup:
