Help!
15 years ago I owned a '69 Spit 1296 (I wish I never got rid of it!)
and for the past year I have really got the urge to get another one.
After much searching I found a "project" car around here (central
Indiana) and I began working on it.
It's a '78 spit 1500. Things are going well and I am extremely exited
about it (My wife says insane/nuts is a better word than excited) I
have been watching this list, silently, for the past several week and
all this talk lately about matching commission/engine numbers got me
wondering. I checked my engine number tonight and it is a strange
one: DM5063ESS. Now if I have done my research correctly, my engine
number should be the same as my commission number and start with an
"F" not a "D" The only mention of "DM-------" engine numbers refer
to a car called a Triumph Toledo. Am I totally off base with this?
If I am not were in the world would I get parts for a Toledo motor??
Thanks,
Bill Miller
