Re: C2 Fuel Injector inspection tag codes

Justin,

Did you forget this information?

The top set of numbers is the 1963 part number, 7017375. Below that in the four boxes is: C/A63/04/04

Just trying to help with the process.

Thank you Leif

Justin, Brian Futo wrote an article in the Restorer about the tags, Spring of 82. You can get the articles from NCRS store on CDs etc.

Re: C2 Fuel Injector inspection tag codes

7017375 = RP unit ID

C = third revision for 7017375 was installed

A63 = January 63 date RP built the unit

04/04 = inspector stamps

By having the 04/04 on the tag it means the revisions were factory installed, not field installed, since field installations had no inspector.

This is all assuming the tag is an original.

I did a little digging, through some tags I have, and your tag doesn't seem to line up with RP installed tags I own.

My C3 original tag is only at revision B, which is the same as my D3 revision kit tag.

My A3 tag has no revisions. I'm a bit skeptical that a January unit would be installed at RP with the C revision.

Hi Bob, does anyone have a break down of what was done for the revision codes for the 375 and the 380 units?

Re: C2 Fuel Injector inspection tag codes

Hi Dan,
on a 380 unit I'd give John Degregory a call when he returns from Carlisle.

Re: C2 Fuel Injector inspection tag codes

The info on the tags is not an exact science. Many variations on what was put on those inspections tags.
For Example: The first box is typically A or B or C. But not always. Sometimes the first box can contain a two digit number. Refer to Ken Kaysers book on that.
The 3rd and 4th boxs also have variations. I have seen inspector numbers rangine from 1 to 8 written like 01/01. Most of the times I see these numbers on a severe angle.
As Dan said refer to Brian Futo's old article on the tags. I think there may have been one more article throughout the years in the Restorer but I could be wrong.
The first tags used on the '4360 and tghe '4520 had inspector punch holes in them. Very rare. John

Dan, I can't answer your question. Don't know the answer.

Re: C2 Fuel Injector inspection tag codes

Bob, thank you. Unfortunately I'm not too surprised by your comment. That A3 tag with no revisions, are there only 3 codes/boxes? Here's a photo of the tag on my FI unit, no angle on the inspection stamps either. What's your impression?

Re: C2 Fuel Injector inspection tag codes

Justin,
in my opinion its not what I'm use to seeing on original cars.

Regarding JD's comment on the first box containing anything other than a single letter or blank space,
I've not seen one original example of double letters, on any 7017375 unit, in that past 40 years.

Re: C2 Fuel Injector inspection tag codes

Bob, again not surprising, just disappointing. But that's OK. In going through my restoration there were enough questions about the authenticity of this 63 being an original L84 (as represented to me years ago) that we're rebuilding it as a L76 with a FI conversion. I wasn't planning onmasqueradingthe car as an original L84.Thanks for you help and expertise.

Re: C2 Fuel Injector inspection tag codes

Justin, this is an original RP C3 tag for comparison. Bob J

Re: C2 Fuel Injector inspection tag codes

Bob, thank you. Quite a difference. If I only knew then what I know now. Or that I had sought out the right assistance at the time.....

Re: C2 Fuel Injector inspection tag codes

Justin, you are quite welcome.
Write me if you need 63 advice going forward.

Re: C2 Fuel Injector inspection tag codes

Bob, Sorry I mislead you fellows. I was making a general statement on the tags. I have never seen a 7375 with double "numbers" on it in the first square.
But I did see a 7014960 tag that way. It's in Ken Kaysers book and I saw one here at the shop.
Justin, Do you feel your tag is an original one? It just may be an old repro.
