Google it. I got mine at O'Reilys Auto Parts
You've done some serious sanding!! But at least the paint is gone! What color?
Hi again!! I was your first poster when you started this! Watching and have Q's.
When is the Scheduled Production Date(SPD) of the car?
You have said the motor is #'s matching, rite?
Can you post a readable picture of all the #'s on the pad by the distributor?
Thanks, Dave
Are you referring to the vin# stamped where the trans mates with the block? Both the trans and the block have the same vin which matches the car's vin.
Asfar as the scheduled production date where would I find that. On the build sheet?
No, the pad under the distributor hole. Should have D383 plus other numbers. Which is the assembly date of the motor and maybe HP, maybe not?
The SPD of the car is on the build sheet. I'm not real familiar with '68 fender tags so don't know if SPD is on the tag?
Man you are wasting no time!! WOW

ok, here's the info on the pad next to the distibutor port.
D 383
12-18
There's no HP stamped
We went into the whitebook and detremineed that the "D" signifies 1968 and that the date depictes the day the engine was put together.
So, the block was cast in June 15th of 1967, the engine was assembled in December, 18th 1967 and the car was assembled December 28th, 1967.
I'll check on the build sheet on the SPD.

Cool info!! Why are you saying the car was assembled on 12/28/67?
Yes check sheet for SPD.
My new wheels
How's that?
I thought you were restoring it to original from the title? Or maybe I am taking the verbage wrong..... Resto ?
I am restoring. There will be a few mods I make internally to the motor such as stainless valves, a little cleaning up of the ports, a little hotter cam etc.
I'm staying with the stock suspension, brakes, 14" wheels and tires etc.
Depending on how it handles I may opt for a larger sway bar and maybe some heaver T bars. That's way down the road.
If you are referring to the big wheels and tires just kidding around. The guy doing the body work did that the other day when his wife had her late model 300 getting her tires changed over.
