IBM card decode?? - 08/11/17 03:36 PM

Good morning,

I have a LA built 71 RR and I was told that it would not have a build sheet if it was built there. However I do have what I believe is called the IBM card with all the punch holes. Is there a way to decode this thing?? Thanks in advance.

I don't have a firm answer for you, but I think you can put the codes together similar to a build sheet. I assume that there are some threads here on Moparts or somewhere out there that covers decoding the IBM cards, but I'm coming up blank. Maybe if you can scan the card and post an image, someone will chime in on what to look for or how to pull the codes out.

LA sheets do exist, so the only way to know if there are any in your car is to search all the normal places.

This is page 4 from a thread on IBM cards. Shows pic of IBM card and some decoding. Just show numbers and letter decoding. May not tell all of the decoding.

What year did Chrysler stop using the cards?
