Re: need some engine decoding....
There is something wrong with the code that you posted as most codes have 8 digits. The "6" in your posting seems to be an extra number.
Anyway assuming the "6" is not supposed to be there, this is what I came up with.
T1018CTB
T= Tonawanda, manufacturer of the engine
10= October, month of manufacture
18= October 18, day of manufacture
CTB= 402 or 396 used in 1972 cars, (Chevelles, Full size, and Camaro)
The cast date code will confirm my assumption or disprove it.
