Back again, found the Ford book that I have that decodes the ID tag. Here goes: The sn should look like C75XYA12345. The letter in the X position is the as manufactured engine code. A is slouchy six. B is 330 ci 2bbl 164 hp. Looks like a match for what you got. There are lots of other bigger engines listed. It'll work as long as you are not in hilly country or are in a big hurry. BTW the C75 might be C70, does'nt change things much. The letter in the Y location is the factory where it was built. The A is part of the serial number beginning in 66, I think, I did not bring the book to work where I am doing this. This was because the six digit format had gone to or approached all 9's, so the A was used with 5 digits for the consecutive unit number. This should cover about all. For everyone's info, the 292ci engine ended life at the end of the 64 truck year. HTH George S.
