Thanks Culvers...once I saw what you wrote about L2 I did remember knowing that once upon a time. LOL All I can figure is the inspectors handwriting touch up or refit codes or something. Like the A/C B-Cons may mean the A/C had a bad connection. Then at the bottom the 571 HRPB 863 I noticed is the engine and trans code.
What do you guys think about these dates;
1974 Plymouth Cuda
Scheduled Production Date...Broadcast sheets and Fender Tag: December 10, 1973
Date of Manufacture...Door Sticker: January 1974
Engine Production Date…Block Frt Stamped 4W 360HP 3557 15669: April 24, 1971
…Oil Pan Rail Stamp Unknown yet.
Transmission Production Date…Stamped PK3681863 4556 7251: January 17, 1974
Rear Carrier…Stamped 2881489
- 5 1903: October 13, 1967
I thought I had a pencil rubbing of the pan rail number of the engine but evidently I dont...I will get a pic next time I go up to the car. Is it unusual or possible that the 360 engine is from 1971 as the block code suggest? I know they started making the 360 in 1971 but wow...3 years to find its way into a car. I'm 99% sure it is the original engine as I would have visually checked when I had the engine done...but now until I see the other number I have a slight doubt.
Also...the 1903 on the rear carrier...is that in fact a date code...if so that would be from 1967?
I found a Maryland Emission Inspection sheet from the original owner dated 4/28/84 too...it passed! I also found a fragment of a third build sheet as I was going through the papers. It has the engine sequence number and matches up to the others what is left of it. I think it was under the carpet because when I unfolded it a lot of dirt was falling out of it.
