Re: P-O-P & engine build code the same??? Dan, Fisher Body did not place the POP nor any other manuals in the car...Buick final assembly did. Get out your 1970 assembly manual, turn to page 1-4.1 and note at the bottom, where they are showing how to stamp the letters it states: "All characters to be embossed by assembly plants." Not Fisher Body, but Buick final assembly . BTW, do you guys want to move this thread to The Paper Trail? I'll do it if you wish...
Don't you dare! Crappy or not, do not remove what's left of the paint. You're better off with crappy original paint than none at all. JMHO.....
Your right Brad, thanks for the advice... Something I've been wondering about for awhile... how do you guy's pull the quotes you want to respond to from another post? It seams to make the response much easier to follow...
Re: Glenn, you lost me... I thought I WAS in The Paper Trail--Oh, I AM--it's already been moved. I'm glued to my seat, where ever it is...
Hit the "Quote" button at the bottom right of the post you wish to quote. You may then delete as much or as little of the quote as you wish. HTH
Re: Re: P-O-P & engine build code the same??? I've got the Jan/Feb X-Tra, but I don't think it's gonna help any. There is a computer generated representation of a block code. It shows: "SS 189 H Key-- SS=70 stage 1 189=code # H=engine" I can scan and post if you think it will help Nick
Re: Re: Re: P-O-P & engine build code the same??? Thanks Nick! I was at work at the time and didn't have access to that information. Yes, my motor code/production is SS 189 for a 11D car Glenn's GS is SS 204 for a 12B car. Also, thanks for responding to the P-O-P post :TU: This is why I asked for the P-O-P codes in the other post. I think it's time to make some sense out of these 'production codes' for both engines and transmissions.
So that's now YOUR car?..... I thought there was going to be a chart in there that would answer all our questions... Makes sense now.
Yes, I purchased that car 5 years ago sight unseen :Brow: , with no documentation but I based my purchase on that article and the fact that it took 3rd place at the GS Nats in 1997. I figured at worst, I'd have a nicely restored BB convertible. Glenn's car and mine are very close in build dates, VINs, and Fisher body #. That's why I was looking for the engine production code on mine - I couldn't remember it ou: :spank: Unfortunately, no chart (to my knowledge) exists. These forums are the only way (at least that I can think of) to decipher this information. Thanks again!
