I am looking at a 69 Chevelle SS. It is supposed to be a 396/375 car. I don't have the Vin number but the cowl numbers are listed below.
Thanks, James

ST 69 13637 ATL209472
TR 756 53 LB
01D

Engine code is TO312ID, the last 2 could be JD.

Engine date code is AFTER the car was built. I don't think its right..my .02.

Agree with Al. Car was assembled 1st week of January and the engine was assembled March 12...although 'JD' is the correct suffix code for a 69 396/375. If that's the case, technically it's a car equipped with a 396/375. smile.gif

Ditto with Albert and Dale,,,, also the VIN number wont help determine if its an SS car or not,, only if it was a V8 or 6 cyl,,,
