While there are no dues or fees for membership at El Camino
Central, we do rely upon member contributions to keep the site and server running smoothly. As membership grows, so does
site usage. Recently we have seen a huge jump in server load and bandwidth. As a result, at times we notice extremely
slow page loading. Many of you may have also noticed the new member rankings used to recognize supporting members.

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-
