Hi All
Have seen this on an unrestored car…does anybody have anymore details…? I assume the 022 refers to the 1.7L but what about the other number? Any insight would be appreciated…thanks Andy Attached thumbnail(s)

According to my list:
604 is a 1974 1.8L, but I don't know which engine code it is? 605 is a 1974 1.8L EC-B engine code, CA-model 606 over P is a 1974 1.8L EC-A engine code, USA-model Att 1.8L are EC-code engines but there were sub categories. Look for the label on the drivers side interior engine bay side panel, it will tell you. EC-A, EC-B etc. Attached image(s)
