hey,
I'll give it a go, but Im no expert.

225 = this is the number GM use for sedans
7782 = this is the number off the production line, your sedan was the 7782 off the line.
A = Adelaide. your sedan was manufactured in Adelaide

the rest of the number are paint & interior trim codes. refer to this thead:

hope this helps, & if I have made any mistake, guys please correct me

ciao

that engine No would be for the original engine, yor chassis No is on the right inner guard pretty hard to miss as the No's are quite large there's a terminal block for the headlight wiring it'll be just near that
and the engine No if you look on the engine just above the right engine mount it'll be stamped on the flat surface there
sometimes yor just better off shitting in yor hands and clapping

Hi Guys,

I have just found a pic I had stored away of the id plate on the EK.

It is probably the worst one on here but would love some info if you can read it!

I reckon you've got it Leroy. The interior is definitely that colour and pattern.

Which part of the plate designates that it is a hydramatic?

Thanks for the info!

The insert line has PO 478A, I'm fairly sure the way it works is
PO = Production Option
478 = Hydramatic
A = Special

Nice work Steve :D :D

Thanks for sharing makes interesting reading when you have them all lined up, do you know if 225 and 229 production was counted separately or together; seems an awful lot of FB 229's built (around 50k) if they are separate?
