68 GTS Resto

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?

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.
