1969 Protecto Plate Decode
Ok, just purchased my first vette. '69 350/350 4spd convert. I found all the original paper work, with the exceptoin of a window sticker. I have the protecto plate. How do I decode? Will the protecto give diff ratio and trans type?
Original sales recipt from 1969 shows car came as 350/350hp 4sp, convert, ps, pb pw, tinted glass, posi, am/fm and hard top. What else can I learn from the the potoet-o-plate?
Thanks in advance for any and all info!
Regards,
Marco

Re: 1969 Protecto Plate Decode (blackbirdpilot)
Sounds like you bought a great car and WOW!....The Protecto Plate is a pretty rare item!!!!! Do you have the warranty card too???? The Protecto Plate ties in with the warranty card.....
It'll show the VIN #, Engine Suffix code, Date of Delivery and, I believe, the first owners name & address.....I know there are other numbers, quite possibly the trans, but I'm not sure.......
If you don't get any more posts here, then try posting in Factory Correct Resto.....
Also, post a pic of your car.....can't wait to see it :thumbs:

Re: 1969 Protecto Plate Decode (standup)
Very nice to have all that documentation. I have a book that breaks down the protect-o-plate information (It's not a "potatoe-plate" :lol:)
You will find the original owners name and address.
top left: engine number
under that: transmission number
vin number
under that: rear axle number
top right: the letter "R" = rochester carb
if you see the letter "H" then you had a holley, but with a 350/350 you should have an "R" :)
under the R: a number identifies the month in which vehicle was built.
If you post any of those numbers we can give you a little more info - like which rear end and trans you have.
