Protectoplate codes
I have a protectoplate from a 68 Chev, was wondering if anybody could tell me what the engine and rear end codes mean. Engine is VO706DH rear is DA0703G. Any ideas guys? VIN is 156698F247379 Which comes back to a Biscayne/Belair. Never know. could be an important car that someone has that would love to have there POP,
Thanks, Motown [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Re: Protectoplate codes
Matt,
According to my CBTN book, it shows DA rear code for a 3.08:1 rear. I couldn't find the DH for the Engine. The closest I saw was DR which is for a 307 with a power glide. Are your sure it is a "H" and not an "R"? Ron [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif[/img]

Re: Protectoplate codes
The partial VIN does come back to a 68 Chevelle by the way but you already knew that
