Hi Crackedback, just wondering what or how you decoded
the build date and unit number? do you have a chart or sheet
you could post or would be willing to share? Thanks either way.

The eight digits 37440124 break down as first 4, 3744, are 10,000 day calendar date and the last four, 0124, are unit built that day.

I put 0128 in the first response... Oops!

If the stamping is really an R and not a P, then it would be a low compression engine. The R designates regular grade fuel.
