Engine Suffix Code Label

[Raymond W.]

What would the details of this label look like for a 1974, 454ci, 4-speed? The one on my car is missing, are they still available?

Re: Engine Suffix Code Label

Where is the label supposed to be?

On the rear of the passenger's side valve cover.

Re: Engine Suffix Code Label

Are there any sources out there that are reproducing these labels?

My crystal ball tells me you will get at least one email off the baord, and maybe two.

I actually have the original one from my '70 454. I can email photos if anyone would like to see it.

Re: Engine Suffix Code Label

Chris, I would like to see it, but it seems a picture posted to the Tech Board would be the ideal solution. Suppose anyone with picture posting skills would want to post Chris' emailed photo?

Chris,

I'd love to see one!

Terry M and I have been searching these out for 70-72 cars for quite a while. An original big block example would be nice.

Thanks,

Patrick

Well, you know that if I get it, you get it shortly thereafter.

ok....here it is

The previous owner noticed it flapping in the breeze and fortunately removed it from the valve cover before it fell off.

The car was never driven in the rain and currently has 29,000 miles. The car has lived its entire life in Connecticut and Massachusetts.

Thanks Chris! *NM*

P.S.

My car has 60,000 miles, but when the previous owner bought the car it still had the sticker on the valve cover.

Why? The original covers had been removed and replaced with M/T covers (by owner 2,3 or 4). The originals were kept, and part of the deal upon purchase by the previous owner was the previous owner (5) removing the M/T covers and reinstallling the originals, returning the M/T covers to owner 4. Before 5 reinstalled the original covers, he cleaned them up...and the sticker went down the drain.

I almost shot him for that one.

P.S. #5 is a friend. Really.

Re: ok....here it is

That reminds me, previous owner told me the original valve covers were off the car for awhile.
