CE is Chevrolet Engineering & the 9 indicates 1969. It was probably warranteed early in it's life...Joe

It is probably a 396 or a 402 depending on the casting number & casting date. Most likely a 402 because of casting problems late in 1969. My Aug 69 built ss396 Camaro is a 402 from day 1.

A 396 had the conventional spark plugs with a gasket.
The 402 had gasketless plugs with the tapered seat.

The 69 402 has gasketed spark plugs. 70 had tapered. Most people think the 402 came out in 70. They actually came out late 1969...Joe
