Hello and welcome. There are many definitions (or levels, if you will) when it comes to "Number's Matching". Keep in mind that in 1968, the VIN wasn't stamped on the body (rad support and trunk rail) like it was in later years so you have to match the SO number to the VIN. Do you have the fender tag and Broadcast sheet? Here's some reading for you, though I would worry primarily that the VIN and body match and it's a bonus if you still have the original motor and trans; http://andy440.com/other.htmGood luck. Dave

RM21H8A327120 would've been Scheduled for Production during the last week of June 1968. PT383H25301276 - PT = Trenton engine Plant, 383 = cu. in., H = standard 4bbl eng., 2530 = 7/1/68 short block assembly date, 1276 = unit number 2468130-11-LL = casting number 383 cu. in. block 6/20/68 = casting date D383 7 1 2 - D = 1968 model year, 383 = cu. in., 7 1 = 7/1/68 - final assembly date, 2 = 2nd shift WAG - not the assembly line original VIN stamped engine, but I'd bet it has been there since the car was new.  What is stamped HERE??

If it's an A/C car I don't think it would be HP? I know in 69 they were different.

I thought about that after I posted and was going to reread and ask the OP if it's an A/C car .

The #7120 that is on the block by the oil pressure sender that matches the last 4 # in the serial # is this a matching # engine thanks
You need to see them all , without a picture there is no way of telling if someone else stamped them ? If it is the matching engine the number on the bottom of the pan tells one that the factory installed the WRONG engine in the car .
