Hello,
I've recently acquired an Alfetta engine with a number AR01608*X26016+
I can't say I've ever seen an "X" in the number field and a "+" on the end.

Can anyone shed a light on this?

Thanks in advance.

From the Alfetta Inspection Specifications Issue 3 - 1978

"5) Numbering of stricter detoxed engines EEC 74/290 and detoxed engines for sweden 1976 (letter X and symbol + in place of asterix after serial number are the identification marks)"

So this implies it is an engine designed for lower emissions? This engine is in Australia. I was told it may have been a turbodelta motor, which could be totally inaccurate.

Thanks
