Re: [Amc-list] Take a look at a tired old Rambler

S is almost definitely for Service.
The trans out of my 69 was designated an S-42 on the tag.
I'd saying we are getting every close to being able to say that the S was stamped or cast into the service replacement assemblys to identify them to mechanics at a later date.
I wish I'd have thought to take a pic of that tag! before I shipped it out to California.
