The number "1" is for Chevrolet Division but I don't think that was used until 1968 when partial VINs were mandated by federal law. As I said, I've never seen a 67 engine with the preceding "1" for the division.

The number on the block pad sounds correct for the vehicle. I don't know what the original 1 in front of the 7 is on the pad. Usually just 7 for model year the a and the last 6 of the vin. You should also have some other letters and numbers on the pad. Will tell you where engine made, date engine made and then letters which tell what engine hp and if built with a auto or 4 spd trans.

I recently purchased a numbers matching 67 Chevelle SS - My question is the VIN number on the car should match exactly the engine block number. Is that correct? The engine number is 17A152662 and the car VIN is 138177a152662....I am missing a 7 in the engine block number versus the VIN on the body. Any thoughts from you experts?
