Having looked at many 1970 Chevelles over the Years the general rule is Baltimore, Atlanta ,Kansas are top deck , but note Kansas cars are a larger 3/16 font and stamped upside down generaly. Balt cars have a unique twist there are quite a number of Feb built cars that display a 188 first three digits of the vin as the O and the B must have been damaged and they inserted the 88 into the gang holder during this period. The vin's are 1/8 for the other plants. I have inspected an April built , documented LS-6 that had the vin stamped on the deck and on the oil filter boss as well. You can get a lost title easily and the that makes that engine a home run to the rebody guys looking to recreate a real one . Make a note of the vin as this car may just be showing up again. Jim
