Definitely found some vital info TravMac
like you mention
L61 is engine description = 2.2 L DOHC ALUM
1LS i couldn't find in the codes, but it seems obvious that it reasons as the LS trim, but that's an assumption on my part
[not changing my build log title again though, LoL]
a few other things i found interesting to note were the following
AR9 = deluxe bucket seats
K64 = generator rating of 115 A
LOD = plant code, assembled in
Lordstown, Oh
M86 = 5spd GETRAG 5T45E M F23 75mm
and a few codes that still puzzle me..
NU6
6AR/7AR/8AA/9AA [all listed as Compenent/ComputerSelSusp ]
and then i am REALLY curious about the code at the top of the plate.... MJVX6F
any ideas? I'm not going to sweat it now though... my next big push will be to pull of any stray bolts or nuts that I can reuse & then shove the shell out to the curb.
