Will be engraved on the manifold side and will start with two letters.

Exhaust manifold side half way down towards the front on a flange. Stamped not always easy to read.

 

We are talking about a Pinto as it is a 205 block!

[Guest grizzley57]

yes 205 block tq

The first two letters are the year. Decode via the Burton catalogue. I have one in my hand.
