Help needed...

[micke77]

I´m trying to figure out if i got the original engine in my -60 Electra, but i can´t find "my" engine number in any of the decoding charts...
The number to the left on the engine: 4G9459
The number to the right on the engine: 6G1001475
Casting number on heads: 1190415
I belive my car is early 1960...
Is there anyone who can help me with this one?

If the 6G1001475 matches the VIN of the car it's the original engine & would be an early production #.

The VIN says G4003684...
But i still don´t know if the engine is a 401?

If the 6G1001475 matches the VIN of the car its not an Electra. This number is for a '60 Flint assembly Invicta.

Vin G4003684 is a '60 Kansas City Built Buick.

1960 VIN has 9 digits.
What is the first digit of the VIN ?

The first digit of the VIN is 7
I suspect that the engine have been exchanged sometime in the past, but the ONLY thing i need to know is if my engine is a 401. because i´m about to get me a new carb and i want it equipped to match my engine.
