    Cowl Tag:
    MADE IN CANADA

    T175 8E 522E PNT
    A65CO8L77M3B

    Also on the engine block this number was found and I'd like to know what it is and what it means!

    P.S. This is a CANADIAN 1969 Buick Skylark Custom with what I believe to be a HiPo 350 4-bbl! I also believe the car to come from the Oshawa Ontario plant.

    The engine block number you found is a part number.
    The serial number and engine code are what you are looking for is on the left side of the block that you can see between the heads and the exhaust manifold. Roberta

    Why would the "M3B" make more sense? It is not a valid UPC code:confused:
