"Engine" Build Sheet codes (1970 E-Bodies)

[6bblgt]

looks like it was built a week late - around 5/20
any more info available to the right on lines #1 & #5?  rest of sheet?

How do you determine it's a week late ?

[Rev-It-Up]

Not much...

How do you determine it's a week late ?

I've been working on some "Actual Production Date" calendars, I have March & April '70 pretty much mapped out and May is coming together.  I've been working on '71 Hamtramck, but the decline in E-body numbers is adding to the difficulty.

in a '70 MOPAR - E63 represents 383 cu.in. engine with a 4-barrel carburetor

a blue 383 4bbl Carter equipped engine was rated 330hp (same cam as 383 2bbl)
an orange 383 4bbl Holley equipped engine was rated 335hp & "HP" stamped (same cam as 440HP 4bbl)

there are NO/ZERO/NADA 383HP c-bodies in 1970

Can you simplify it for me I'm still very confused  Where on a build sheet do you find the "actual production date" ?

it's not there in black & white - lots of time collecting/organizing data & patterns emerge - known dates & sequence numbers & time stamps = EARLY VS. LATE

still looking for specific plant walkout/strike data & vintage UAW contract info - this all started a few years ago with the "LAST HEMI" pissing match

   Good catch @6bblgt       Jedi numbers guy!

I found one sheet with 113 on a V-code Cuda auto. 

can you post a picture?

[Cuda Cody]

Nice job @Culvers     

I bet 112 is a 440+6 manual trans w/ heater.   

[Cuda Cody]

So you're saying the cars are built in order of the sequence number in the top lefthand corner of the sheet ?

Wouldn't that just be the order the sheet was printed ?

I'm totally lost on this......going to bow out..... 

[Culvers]

Just a question: was AC available on 198 or 225 engines? If yes, there should be some more engine codes...

[Cuda Cody]

Dan and I were just talking about that.  I think Dan found the info that said AC was only available on V8 engines and (if I recall) Automatics.   

Just a question: was AC available on 198 or 225 engines? If yes, there should be some more engine codes...

And thank you everyone that helped with all the codes and answering the questions.  Was on the phone with @6bblgt  last night for about 2 hours as we made the final push to get all the codes figured out.  Dropped off the master file today with the programmer and we'll be Beta testing the Build Sheet decoder soon!!!!!

We feel we are 99% complete and perfectly accurate with all the information.  We feel we have uncovered some new information too.  But we'll continue to chase perfection and find the last 1% of odd and weird code / combinations.  This is just one more step for E-Bodies.org in gathering and sharing information.  The more we all know and share, the better off the hobby is.
