In the VIN number the seventh digit is a letter: E for Linden NJ, M for Lansing, Z for Fremont. On the cowl tag the first thing in the top left is a three digit code, two numbers and a letter. The number is the build month, the letter is the build week (A=1st week, B=2nd week, etc.)

In addition to 66's plants there are a few more. B for Baltimore, G for Framingham, MA, K for Kansas, R for Arlington, 1 for Oshawa Canada. If you give me the VIN number and or the Body Tag digits and placement I can give you the rest of what I have.
