Engine VIN location

[silver69z22]

Hi Guys.
  My 69 RS has the partial vin # and suffix code on the front of the engine block behind the altirnator. The build date is 12-B 1968 and the vin # is 124379L513112. some research says it should be by the oil filter, not so on my car. Just wanted to share the info. have a good day,
steve

The location bounced around at LA. http://www.camaros.org/drivetrain.shtml#partialVINs
But your location is common for that timeframe.

What's the work order # on the cowl tag (e.g. A123, on the same line as the build date)?
What's the engine code?

Thanks!

My Z28 is a 12B build as well, I found the casting# and casting date but had a difficult time finding the vin.  I can vouch for not finding it near the oil filter.  I the only numbers I found there were foundry numbers.  Was your car a Norwood or LA car?

Does the same hold true for Norwood cars (1969 that are 1968 build) that are 12B - VIN could be at either the pad or filter location? What about 12A cars?
Thanks

[KurtS]

No. NOR and LOS processes did not change at the same time.

Hi Kurt
Where would a 12A Norwood built VIN be - on the front pad or oil filter area?
Thanks

[KurtS]

It normally should be on the pad.
