My 1969 Dart GTS LS23H has two codes on the bottom row of the fender tag that I am having trouble decoding They are E63 and then D21 with a space between them and then another space between the D21 and the VIN LS23H9B. Also while I'm asking for help where should the scheduled production date code be located on this fender tag BTW, there is a number on the row above the bottom row that is directly above the sequence number after the VIN cod, it is 087952 with no other letters in front of it, what is this number Thanks in advance

Cab, here's a good link that explains the codes.
http://www.mymopar.com/6971opcodes.htm

E63 is 69 only 383 4bbl 335 hp & D21 is the 4 speed manual trans.
The numbers above the sequence #'s are the vehicle order # and
the date (month & day) are to the left of that.
You said its a 340 GTS?

H for 1969 was 383, not 340.

No, it is a 383 4 speed car,stripe delete, radio, heater, console with tach, nothing special Definetily not a 340 car.
EDITED I looked at the link(Thanks for that ) and see what I thought was a wierd code, A28 for a Polara value package B, is actually the SPD? Yes? If so then the car was acyually sceduled to be made on October 28 of 1969, yes or no

Sorry I missed your call last night, Cab! Just to be sure the 383 A-body engine was actually rated at 330 horsepower, not 335.


The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

I thought the factory rated the 1967 A body 383 at 300 Hp and the 1968 and 1969 at 305 HP due to the restrictive driver side exhaust manifolds That is the way NHRA had them rated back in the early 1980s is the way I remeber them
Thanks for the help to all
