When discussing U code...

[Skytrooper]

Are we talking about the VIN, the fender tag, or both ?

Both. They should match.

Thank you ! My car no longer has a fender tag due to an accident (PO), so I was curious to know if the VIN was applicable to U code identification.

it really means that the car came from the factory with a 440 engine

If you by chance have the broadcast sheet, a repro vin tag can be made.

It means that the car was equipped with a 440 4 barrel Magnum/Super Commando 375 horsepower engine,1970 and later. The horsepower rating declined after 1970.

Hello,

I just learned about the U code and had to run out and check the Charger (its a 1974 SE). The VIN number is WP29U4A211321. Is this a U code?
