68 Coronets were made at Lynch Road, St. Louis and LA. No Hemi cars at LA leaving us LR or StL. sequence B169038 appear to be the first numbers in the upper left corner of a 68 Broadcast Sheet. SPD B07 fits well with a 164xxx VIN from 68 LR So WS23J8A164738 is viable.

The white book shows 178 shipped for sale in the US.

Wrong MC for '69 Coronet with PDB. The lines exit the MC on the engine side for the PDB application. B41 would not be on the tag. B51, if so equipped, would be but but does not for this car. As posted earlier, this car for sale has manual drum brakes. Below is a pic of MC for 69 Coronet with PDB.

Engine assemblies vary by year and application. in 1969, it was NOT possible to order an 'engine upgrade' pacakge from a standard 330 horse to 335 horse in a B body such as a Coronet 500. The Orange 335 horse with automatic was only available in the Super Bee and Road Runner meaning you did not...

Here's something I came up with that might help. An IBM card uses punches out of each column to designate a three digit code or a letter. Body style 322, the 3 position is punched out of column 19, the 2 out of column 20 and the 2 out of column 21 to give us code 322 as indicated in box D BODY...

I'm going for the first time and am eager to see everything.

It’s labeled a broadcast sheet. A build sheet is something different. Lots of folks can help. That one will be tricky as it went through the printer wrong. The codes are two lines off.

Why compare the A body to the GTO? The guy doing the Dart section was a better copywriter? More space therefore more text needed to fill? Hard to know.

That chart is filled with known inaccuracies. I wish it and all of its variants could be removed from the internet.

906 heads for '68 compared to '67 heads.

Generally true for 1968 (all assemblies turquoise) and 1969 (Orange vs a/c turquoise) but carb applications can vary. It's difficult for most general publications to dive into details and explain the nuances of each year and application. If we look at broadcast sheets, we can see the 1969 B...

Installation application and related horsepower ratings very by year. The 335 horse assembly was the standard assembly for Super Bees. In 1968 and 1969, Super Bees with a/c got the 330 horse assembly. There is a B body 335 horse a/c assembly for 1970. We can document this via broadcast...

It's possible. Have you checked other date coded components and compared them to the SPD?

Given that not all options are coded on a tag and given coding changes plant to plant, year to year and even within the model year, it is far harder to get an accurate tag than people, and tag makers, believe. It is likely you will be paying for letters and numbers stamped in a piece of metal...
