The number stamped on the oil filler tube is the engine unit code. The first number indicates the year the engine was assembled and the remaining numbers refer to the sequence number of the engine assembly (for identification at the engine assembly plant). This number has no link to any of the VIN data of the vehicle and does not contain any codes that identify the engine size. | The number stamped on the oil filler tube is the engine unit code.

| − | From the factory, the oil filler tube had a sticker containing two letters which indicated components (carb, etc.), model application (Cutlass, 88, etc.), and other configuration items (timing, CA emissions, etc.). See the chassis manual for a complete list of available configurations. In 1973 and later, the factory did tune the emissions packages to the specific models that an engine might be installed in, but before that, in general terms, most engines were virtually the same across all model lines. | + | From the factory, the oil filler tube had a sticker containing two letters which indicated components (carb, etc.), model application (Cutlass, 88, etc.), and other configuration items (timing, CA emissions, etc.).
