Here's something else that's useful, the water pump from an LA will bolt on, which flows more than the poly pump. However, the inlet and outlet are switched In some applications.

Actually hold the phone

I just ran the vin through a decoder and it is saying it is an LA 318

In 66 ????

I thought the LA came later

But according to an online decoder

PH23E6 is an LA

Pre67 you can't trust the decoders. I tried that and it said my polara should have a 400... which didn't come out until 72.

Simple way to be sure, look at the valve covers. If it has bolts on top of the valve cover, it's a poly
