    PT - Engine assembly plant

    383 - 383 CID

    P - Premium fuel recommended

    2307 - 10,000 day calendar date for the final engine assembly - Nov. 21, 1967 (1968 model year)

    6698 - This seams high, but if the number is correct, 6698th engine assembled at this plant on the date above.

    Check the top of the bell where it joins the transmission for a VIN.
