Thanks for the help with the decoding , I will look for the book it would be a good thing to have I now know it is not an SS but she is a good looker and runs great wouldn't trade it for the world , will keep restoring her as a custom , she is red with the black rally stripes on the hood , and a 396 that I rebuilt two years ago . Thanks again Rick
