My Charger didn't have it's build sheet and I thought there was supposed to be some correlation between the numbers on the sheet and on the Valve cover.

The trans p/n would be 2892093 hence the 093. I don't know the full 7 digits for the engine p/n with the white book I have but it's last 3 digits is 916. I believe these 3 digit codes would be found on the Broadcast sheet if you had one. Ron

Yep it would be a different # 69 440 375 auto no A/C is 917 From how it was explained to me (and again I don't claim to be correct on everything I spew) it was just a quick way for a line worker to pull the motor off the shelf.

On the other side....an automatic trans equipped car would get either a 5, a 25 or a 125 depending on year etc. This number is based on the Engineering number for the Kick-down linkage. That is why standard transmission cars have a "0" on the v/cover....no kick-down linkage. I have a bunch of pics of various cars...I'll look for them. I have not seen these numbers on some low-mile, original cars....it seems not all had these markings....they were probably identified by different means...such as paper tags etc.

The A12 engines had some special features such as engine wire harness, valves, valve springs, distributor...not to mention intake and carbs. The 5600 mile automatic survivor Bee on the A12 website does have the number 5 on the driver's side but the number on the passenger side is smudged. It looks like a 950? However, the last 3 on my broadcast sheet engine number is 926 and it's an A12 automatic. I would think the number on the valve cover should read 926?

That's on the fender tag of an A12 because the 440 replaced the 383 as the 440 was part of the A12 option package. The A12 is on the fender tag to indicate what other "options" were to be added. The OP's 916 should also be on the fender tag if the OP has one?

OHIO, USA	I know the reason for marking the valve covers is there is a difference with the engines that can't be spotted at the time of installation into the body or onto a K-frame, as noted the different carb for A/C and sometimes a different ignition timing for a 4-speed or automatic and there is something else that I can't think of?? (auto vs manual/3-spd/4spd?)

Don't know John because they were deleting the 383 kickdown rod (p/n 2843797) and replacing it with a kickdown rod p/n 2951495 therefore the 5 on the driver's side and kickdown side valve cover of the engine. Don't know what that part number (2951495) is listed for normally?

I'm not into reproducing those markings on mine but I regret not looking at my original valve covers more closely before I stripped them.

The engine part number would dictate the actual linkage that is to be installed. And yes - the A12 engines had there own unique 3 digit engine numbers....which do not show up in GG's white books. A common A12 resto mistake is to put the b/cast sheet number on the valve cover.

So what is the code for a manual transmission and how does that relate? Seeking: 1969 St. Louis plant VINs, SPD, and VONs. Over 2,000 thanks to you!

Which, as Dan said above, makes sense. So what is the code for a manual transmission and how does that relate? The 3 digit engine number is the last 3 numbers of the part number for that Engine Assembly. On the other side....an automatic trans equipped car would get either a 5, a 25 or a 125 depending on year etc. This number is based on the Engineering number for the Kick-down linkage. That is why standard transmission cars have a "0" on the v/cover....no kick-down linkage.
