I have a protecto plate from a 1971 Buick. Original owner in CT but a flint built car (possible stage 1?) Can someone help decode: 434371H132296 166 6761 LAB039 1 TR 109 12 4 B BS 379 Who knows, maybe she is still out there and this could make someone happy. ---------- Post added at 03:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:16 PM ---------- Maybe should have posted in the "Lost and Found" section. Does anyone know how to move it?

It is build code 379. ---------- Post added at 01:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:11 AM ---------- By the way TR is standard 455 not Stage Which would be TS and trans would be BB or OW.
