9=powerglide transmission
V=V8 engine

This is just a guess GM contunued the 9 and V designations from 1955.

should only have the 2 tags. the maintenance manuals i have only do the serial. and tell me the v8 is either a 283 or a 348

yeah, theres just the two, i just dident look at the pic before i downloaded it and then realized its a pretty straightforward tag to read. It is a 283,with a 2-barrel that just doesent want to work right though!!
