I will ask but my coworker is friends with the fellow who provided the information to decode my VIN. I have never met the fellow. The fellow with the book is with thunderbirdregistry.com

The owner of the book "Cars & Parts Catalog of Canadian Car I.D. Numbers" told my coworker he would not lend his book.

However my brother said that he had that same book and is now trying to locate it. Could take him a while. His library is contained in boxes.

Wink Re: VIN decoding

DAMN!

What an effort while having no correct text.

The DIST itself is a 1968/ IMCO. The intake manifold (at least the oil filler pipe) is early FE.

Thanks for all of your help.
When the snow season is gone I will scrape off the grease and hopefully find a casting number.

You would be better off making a new thread for this question. Using old threads is confusing. I don't have Ford of Canada manuals that new so I won't be of much help for a 1961. You may want to mention what type of car it is. I would assume it's a Galaxie model with an FE engine but I don't know without information.
