First time doing this, so am not sure what number I should be looking for (as there are several numbers in several locations on the block). Appreciate any advice. Thanks!

Depending on the year of the engine could be next to the distributor (low) or behind the starter. Next would be the engine ID number. It is stamped into the verticle ledged just to the rear of the distributor. Last edited by Chev Nut; 04/03/09 11:58 AM. Gene Schneider
