Now Bob has refreshed my memory and our talks ages ago, with photo's of early A22 plates with the NE on them. The plates themselves show Manufactured by Durant Motors of New Jersey and have the painted N with a stamped E, then rest of the vin number. The thinking is someone ordering plates, screwed up having the N shown instead of an E. To use these plates up the E was stamped after the N to signify Eliz plant. This would have been double vins otherwise with N .. NY and Eliz.

Bob says .. They made the same mistake with the Star tags. They then stamped the 'E' for Elizabeth on the plate (sometimes even on top of the printed 'N'





Still looking for the engine serial and casting date .. I know Don has sent you info on the A22.

More on Ethanol. If your car has an electric fuel pump made before or just after ethanol began to be added, replace it with a new pump. There are rubber parts in the older pumps that will turn in to a tar-like substance that will gum up your entire fuel system. After experiencing this disaster, I went back to the original vacuum tank. No problems since.
