Wes,
I don't have the decoding book but the sticker description sounds correct. I also found a date stamp on the back of my cluster, it reminded me of the date stamp that many offices would have. Here is a photo of the sticker and the date stamp. Hopefully someone who can decode the sticker will pipe in!

P.S. My car is a 67 327/350 L-79 w/o speed warning.

as near as I can tell:
LA - 300 hp [65-67]
LB - 365 / 375 / 425 hp [65 – 67]
LC – 350 [65 – 67]
ecl for diff cluster combinations (tach and oil pressure varied depending on engine)

actually, I can update that summary (prepared by me a few years back based on reported responses) to include 67 300 hp in the LA group.
I have no clue if the inclusion of the speedminder generated a different ecl, I am willing to bet not, however. What does your speedo have on it, in terms of the two-letter sticker?

THE BACK OF MY DASH CLUSTER HAS THE LETTERS "LB" . THE DATE ON THE BACK OF THE CLUSTER SEAMS CORRECT ACCORDING TO BUILD TAG. HIGH RED LINE ALL THE TELL TAIL SIGNS OF A BIG BLOCK, GAS LINE 90 DEGREES, SWAY BARS, BIG RADIATOR, BIG BLOCK HOOD,HOOD PROP ON THE LEFT SIDE,TI IGNITION, RAD SUPPORT. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BACK IN 1981 HAVE KEPT IT IN A GARAGE ALL THESE YEARS AND MY SON AND I ARE GOING TO BE STARTING A BODY OFF REBUILD. THE CAR DIDN'T HAVE THE CORRECT ENGINE IN IT ,BUT I WAS PRETTY SURE IT WAS A BIG BLOCK CAR. I JUST DIDN'T KNOW IF IT WAS A 425 OR A 390 HP. NOW I BELIEVE THAT IT IS A 425 HP CAR. TO BE CONTINUED. THANKS TO ALL FOR YOUR INPUT. THANKS,WES

mine fits
My 65 L76 365 hp car bears LB code on back of cluster. I am not limber enough and my eyes don't work well enough to make out the date stamp, but it should be May or June 1965.
