Engine stamp evaluation please

Re: Engine stamp evaluation please

Hi James, it should be in the Survey. I filled out and sent the informatin back in July.

All the various parts fit with it being an original FI car. The plenum is not stamped with any numbers. There are no filled holes indicating that the emblems were changed etc.

vin 3702 is NOT in my 1965 Fuel Injection SURVEY. I have vins 3613, 3636, 3686, 3746, 3752 and 3756 so the car fits the framwork of possibly being an original car.

Have you inspected other areas that are unique to 65 fuelies? Evidence of cross flags on the fenders is a dead give away. Look "inside" the fenders for filled holes. Also the core support. Original factory vs. parts department service replacement are different.

The FI unit should also be stamped with the vin deritive 5103702.
