    Ok, Guys I need a little help with the codes listed below. I only have a few left. This is the last two lines. I know the JH is Th350 trans. When I save info it all goes together

    Without seeing a pic of the plate.
    O = Manf. Code for the RP code 350.
    LL = 2.73 ratio Std Rear axle.
    4 = April Assembly
    JH = M38 TH350
    1 = Power Brakes
    2 = A.C.
    4 = Radio, Sonomatic
    8 = Power Steering
    Shop (gsbythenumbers.com)

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks Dave that’s coincide with what my car has. On the “O” being RP 350 engine, could the “355” to the right be a misprint for “350”.
    I was able to do the vin plate I just couldn’t complete the protector plate data.
    I appreciate you guys for the information

    With all you guys I was able to get all the information on my Skylark. It was purchased in Monroe NC, I got it about 30 miles from there, so more than likely it spent it entire life in North Carolina, however the dealership is no longer there it’s another type business.
    Thanks guys
