Hi John, All the 383,400,440, and 426 hemi have the dist in the front and turn counter.On most they're marked at the dist. base to the front of the engine. Some aren't. If not check the oil pan rail below the starter opening, at the left rear corner of the block or on the left bank tappet rail. Rich

Hi, again. Engine serial # lists CID either 2nd,3rd,& 4th digits or 3rd,4th,& 5th depending on year. My book lists VIN code as fifth digit for original engine, but I only have M P T & U Listed for 73, no S. M=400 P=400HP T=440 U=440HP Rich
