RE: Call me skeptical (was Re: IML: '65 Crown Coupe Ordered New w/300L 413!!!)

I have a 63 HP 413 in a 64 Pacesetter conv. and it has two interesting
external characteristics.  One is a small, low restriction air cleaner and
the other is a tach drive on the distributor.  Maybe this car would have the
same.

Chrysler did not start stamping the engine plant into the engine number
until the late 1960's.     And when they started doing that, the engine
plant was the first digit (preceded by a P), followed by the engine size,
the 4-digit date of assemby (based on Chrysler's 10,000 day calendar) and
the 4-digit serial number.   There was no digit for the model year in the
engine number - that was supplied by the partial VIN on the engine block
