I just bought a 1973 1.7 with all indications that everything is original to the car. I want to verify the engine and can't seem to find the stamped engine code anywhere. Can anyone help or show me a pic of where it is located?
Thanks! Ray |

I never could find mine in spite of having a good idea of where it should be. Finally unearthed it when I dropped the engine for a major cleaning/wiring harness replacement. It gets dirty in there.
The good news, I found it. The bad news, it was a non-original EC. Gary |
