Easy to decode the fender tag , under the letters AB, 10 equals the 170 
6 cyl, 20 the 225 6 cyl, 30 the 273 2 barrel, 31 the 273 4 barrel, 40 
the 318, 50 the 361, 60 the 383 2 barrel, 61 the 383 4 barrel, 70 the 
413 4 barrel, 80 the 426 1 4 barrel street wedge and last but not least 
the 82 426 2 4 barrels Race Hemi. 

Good Luck 

PS I have a complete & running 1965 273 2 barrel & 3 speed torqueflite
