Klaus,
The Engine number is usually stamped in the following places on all 6 cylinder engines . Block - on a horizontal section above and inward of the top starter motor fixing bolt hole on the right hand side of the block. Often it is covered in oil & dirt . Head - on the two bosses on the left hand side , one toward the front and one toward the rear , Distributor Tower - about half way up the tower on a bulge that houses the tacho drive pinion. Rocker Cover - on a Brass Plate riveted to a Rocker cover If the block is not stamped , it could be a replacement block Geoff |
