I bought a 1980 in California vin # is a 8 is this motor a L-48 ? and if so what was the code for the 305 ?

H = The lovely, super-powerful, fun-to-work-on 305. (Can you sense the sarcasticness in my typing?)

8 = L48
H = 305
6 = L82

edit: Darn Golden, you beat me to it.

The number stamped on the block pad at the front should end in ZCA. The other number on the same stamped pad should end with the last digits of the vin of the car. Should also be automatic.

Welcome to the forum! :seeya This place is awesome for tech tips, emptying your wallet with all the mods you'll want to do, and driving your kids/wife/signifigant other crazy by being on the computer 24/7.

I'm lucky enough to have one of these paraplegic mouse motors. The 305 that is. They're slow, they're absolutely no fun to work on, and they don't accept mods worth a poot. And investing money into a 305 is like investing in Enron.
