"Can anyone explain stamp on block? I just got my 1971 Mach 1 home yesterday and trying to understand what DOAE-L means??"
I'll refer you to this site and take my information from there:
http://automotivemileposts.com/ford/ford...mbers.html
DOAE-L
D - decade (the 1970's)
O - decade year (1970)
A - Car line (Ford) Mustang is Z
E - Engineering department (engines)
There should also be an actual date code which will be four characters. Something along the line of 0L24 which would be 0 - the year (1970), L - November (A-M used except for "I" to designate consecutive month) and 24 - designating the consecutive day of the month.
