Were the valances installed when E bodies were dipped in primer and painted with the rest of the car? Any body color over spray on the inside. Did they blackout the lower radiator support with the valance in the way?
I don’t mean to hi jack this thread but will anyway how can the date on my block be the same as scheduled production date on broadcast sheet. I have owned the car since 1976 and the engine had never been worked on. It has since been rebuilt but not decked to preserve the numbers.
My 71 383 4spd build sheet decoded to R4667. About 20 years ago I contacted over 20 people looking for one, finally found a R4667-3 or dash something. I had it restored/rebuilt it runs great to this day. Every year at Carlisle I look at every core that resembles it and have never seen another one.
