Re: [Amc-list] What is it? 232 or 258

" Joe, the letter in the center of the date code should show if it's a
" 232 or 258. A would be a 258/1V (71-79), E a 232/1V (70-79), G 232/2V
" (70-74). I show a 258/2V, but not until 76 (76-89).

afaik 232/2V were '64/5-'70 only and a completely different intake and
carb from the 258/2V, and btw 199s were A code also; they ended when
258s began.

and on someone else's comment, the crank and yes rods are different.
when they raised the deck ~1/4" in '71 the 232 essentially got the
199's rods and the new 258 the old 232's.  199 and 232 slugs are
different but to share slugs the 258's stroke is less than 1/2" longer 
than the 232 and it doesn't run at zero deck height like the others.
