    Hi, guys and girls.

    What's the translation of the codes on the silver tag of the wiper motors? I'm assuming the top string is the part number. Then we have a number as such:

    154 9 2 A

    If we can solve this, then I'll need to solve the part number mystery next! :Smarty:

    The question was asked,
    What's the translation of the codes on the silver tag of the wiper motors? Here is an example:

    5044756
    154 9 2A

    Here is the info.
    The top # is the Part #
    154 9 Is the day of the year and the last digit of the year produced (Not model year), which comes out as June 3rd, 1969 (This would make it perfect for a late 69/very early 70 car)
    2A I don't know, I have seen 2A, 1B, 4A, etc.

    Basically the tag denotes the part#, and date of manufacture. The other # might be the line#, shift #, plant location, etc. The factory used this info for quality control purposes.

    I shouldn't keep telling everyone my secrets, soon you guys will be so smart you won't need me.
