[Held for Ransom]

"second line starts with the motor number (stamped on the passenger side below the head) and code, space then the axle code space followed the the number 3 (don't know what this is for)"
according to my data, the axle code should be a one digit code, if you know the sales book columns, look under column 36 and it should be there. The next code should be an axle ratio, found under column 37 of the sales book.

My number book states that a 3.55 ratio, non safety track rear axle has a stamped code on the housing WH, which my PHS documentation states my car was built with and also is the code stamped on the protecto plate. I am thinking that the 3 must have something to do with the rear axle, just not sure what!

Just to add more to the list, My 67 Firebird was originally purchased in Vancouver B.C., Canada. I am the second owner. The Protect-O-Plate is white plastic and is still attached (glue) to the back of the Owner Protection Plan booklet which came with all GM products for that year. The booklet covers warranty outlines, detachable maintenance schedule pages and dealer info. It is produced by GM Canada and is in French and English which I believe would be the first year for this to occur with laguage laws changing in 1967 in Canada. The owners manual is also a Canadian GM printing as well. The card also has a 'knick' out of the top right corner which is supposed to be there.
