Welcome to ECC, Jimmy. GM did not start putting a engine code in the VIN untill 72. The trim plate and the cowl plate are the same thing just called by a different name by some. The protecto plate was in the owners manual when the car was new, looked like a credit card, probably long gone by now. Your only hope of finding out how it was originaly equiped would be to find a build sheet in the car somewhere. There may or may not be one and there is no guarantee where it will be. Looks like this-
