Anyone have a picture of one mounted to the left valve cover on a San Jose car?

69 351 M code, FMX auto.
I see the tag listed in catalogs as 69 GT350 with auto trans. My build sheet (what I can read of it) reads K2 1S, the space being a missing part of the sheet.


My powers of deduction tell me it can only be K211S. I don't have my reference in front of my at the moment but a 201 is a different animal and I don't recall seeing a 221.
There's a pic of the remains of the build sheet in my build sheet post.

Yes 211 would be correct for your application - have 212 (for 4 speed)  and even 211T for M code with automatic (very early GT350)


There were real paper stickers with a clear layer over them but they fared poorly over time and in most cases you normally only find the pattern left from the adhesive if your lucky. To that end

From a 12K mile 69 San Jose M code, automatic special order paint car I took pictures of about 25 years ago (sorry for the felt tip markers - way before digit  ;)




Hope it helps
