    Here's a picture. It's around 1:00 o'clock from the dipstick hole. Clean the surface good w/carb cleaner and a wire brush or screwdriver or something.

    Yeah but,,,,

    If it is for your 72 Riv, shouldn't it be in the VIN too, (like the GS)???

    A "V" I think in the 5th position.

    If you want to check the VIN on the block, look on the passenger side behind the lower rad hose. Occasionally, it may be on the drivers side front surface of the block just below the deck. Again, you'll need cleaner to see it. The secon digit of the VIN on the block is the year. The VIN in this photo shows a 5 so it's a '75.
