No, I have a buddy at work who swears there has to be some way to tell. This has almost come to fisticuffs at times!! I would hate to think I've been saying that there's no way to tell, and then have him find that there is a way. I know in later years the is a call letter in the VIN that designates the CID, but nothing for the earlier cars. Thanks for the info. Take it easy. Oh ya, last day for my 65 on Ebay.
