    I believe 1980 but don't quote me on that- C Mark should know for sure. Truck Shop

    Thanks for the vote of confidence Truck Shop. For the record, I "know" about as much as the next grease monkey but what I do have is access to SIS and about 40 years in the game. They appear to come in at 67U11076. However that doesn't mean that everything before that was a precup engine, in fact it was available as either a PC or DI engine right from 67U00001, depending on HP.

    OK, SO 67U16XXX Will DEFINITELY have the pencil nozzles? is this what would be referred to as a ''B'' motor? thanks!

    I can't see anything to suggest otherwise but never say definitely without a full serial number. And yes, 3408B starts at 67U11092.

    If you've heard both engines running {PC or DI} you can tell just by the sound. PC's rattle. Truck Shop
