Opinions on Stampings

[olredalert]

----The VIN stampings by the oil filter were gang stamped so "yes" they would generally line up. I think that sometimes the gang holder as well as the individual letters would become worn and allow for a small amount of misallignment, but not much. All bets are off if there is a factory restamp done, although thats not the case here.
----Is and 1s did appear to be interchangeable to some degree.....Bill S
