 Post subject: 170 vs 225??
PostPosted: Fri Feb 15, 2002 6:23 am 
Hi Guys! I have a 1967 A100 and I don't know
how the heck to tell if its a 170 or a 225.
People have told me to look at the Vin Plate,
I don't see anything that says engine size?? I
know the Vin# says its a 6, but not what size.
How can I tell. I know the Bypass hose is
about 2.5" long. Someone told me that if it
is that long, it is a 225? When I bought the
rig I was told it was a 170??

Any help would be appreciated!
Mike

Frank Adkins covers this pretty well in his new book, go look at page # 1 & 2 for some Pics. (see the link below and links at the bottom of the "cover page" it goes to)
From your discription, sounds like a 225.
what does the bolck ID pad say, what is the block's casting number?

: Thanks Doug, It must be a 225 because I just

looked at the block and it says CT225_9_19. I'm
guessing that is the date it was produced (9_19)?
I know the van was sold in October 1966.
