Hi all! Got my IBM card from Chrysler Historical, hoping that someone has a clearer card for comparison in some of the lower categories that can’t be read.

Hi, Chris - try a search o fthe Fender/VIN Tag and Broadcast Sheet Decoding section.  Type in "1958 Plymouth" and seach in titles, not threads.  Search all posts, not time range.  You'll come up with a bunch of threads to look at, and there are some good images of the punch cards.

Chris, your engine had 6 cylinders but it was definitely not a slant. It was a straight flat head. Slantsix was introduced in 1960.
