It's not on the engine suffix part of the POP, but the H for Holley is still present in the upper LH corner of the plate.

This is a picture of the stamp unit used in the old days along with one of the number pins it held. Once the numbers are installed, there is a safety pin like wire that holds them in. You can see it on the stamper. Hard to see how the numbers would get out of alignment. Look at the Tonawanda stamp. Nice and straight.

I think I've seen that stamp before. The vin seems fishy. Be careful if it's a car you are considering buying. There's a guy that used to be a member here that could tell you for sure. www.mysterychevelle.com
