Protect-O-Plate Decoding Help
Could someone please help me decode this Protect-O-Plate. I'm buying a 1971 Corvette and want to make sure of what I'm getting.

LR is your rear end code, which is a 3.36 posi gear. "W" is for the Warren plant on the 32nd day of 1971, E is for Eaton.
P is for muncie, 1 is the year (1971), T18 is December 18th of 1970.

Hi T,
Here's an example of the info Pete posted.
My 71's p-o-p plate is stamped LRW012E
And here's the stamp on the differential carrier. (The last 1 is the shift the unit was assembled.)
This is a example of "numbers matching" going far beyond the engine's stamp pad.
Where the p-o-p you list is stamped B (for February assembled car) mine is stamped A (for January assembled car).
Regards,
Alan
