The suffix code (also called the "application" code) will be at the end of a string of letters and numbers (that's why it's called a suffix). The suffix string is usually a letter followed by a date code, followed by 1, 2 or 3 letter code. This is found in the area near the distributor, above the fuel pump. The suffix string of letters/numbers are always stamped in, not cast into the block like the date code or foundry ID code. | The suffix code (also called the "application" code) will be at the end of a string of letters and numbers (that's why it's called a suffix).
