Recently purchased a 76 L48 driver. I'm not sure if I have a number matching car or not. Here are the numbers off the right front of the block deck. . . < 16S420775 > and < V0126CKX >. Can anyone disifer these for me and is the VIN needed also?

Thanks guys.

But you need the vin to match 420775

Is these the last numbers in your VIN? If so, your numbers 'match'.

That's my VIN. Guess I've got a match, thanks so much.

What model automatic would have been original??

Hi M,
I believe the 350 Turbo was std with the base engine (L-48) while the 400 Turbo was std with the optional engine (L-82).
