66 Chevlle SS Opinion

This is the stamp pad from a 66 Chevelle SS that I'm looking to buy. I never had a 1966 and the Protecto-plate shows the same assembly stamp code but does not include the "H". I don't think this should be there. Does anybody know? Thanks, Ed

The H indicates that the engine originally used a Holley carb. I am not sure if it would be on the POP or not.

Jason is correct the "H" is holley and is not on the protecto plate this is my 67 plate and efh suffix I also have a 66 edh and the same story.

It's not on the engine suffix part of the POP, but the H for Holley is still present in the upper LH corner of the plate.

This is a picture of the stamp unit used in the old days along with one of the number pins it held. Once the numbers are installed, there is a safety pin like wire that holds them in. You can see it on the stamper. Hard to see how the numbers would get out of alignment. Look at the Tonawanda stamp. Nice and straight.

I think I've seen that stamp before. The vin seems fishy. Be careful if it's a car you are considering buying. There's a guy that used to be a member here that could tell you for sure. www.mysterychevelle.com

The assembly stamp looks good, vin doesn't.
