  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    They are manufacturing codes that were used by Buick Final Assembly at the Flint plant only.

    I cross referenced/decoded all the codes for the 70-72 A-Body Buicks and it took me on the order of 15+ years to do it.

    These codes are unique, and will not cross reference to any other codes. There were some small "engineering" books that decoded them, but you would need to find one for that year/model car to begin to decode the sheet, and again this is for the Flint Plant only.

    Good luck with your search.
