Kind of a simple guy. Thought I might get something 'In depth'
Appreciate the response tho...

You wanted a reply & you got one. Maybe my reply will generate more interest, cross your fingers. Maybe it's not the original tag????
If you post a photo or two of the car someone may be able to tell by the option what the car is!!!!!!!!!

Hello I have a 1963 Corvair Monza convertible. I'm having a hard time finding it. I'll post picture where I'm looking at.

Left rear, not right on early models...

1964
1963


By the way, electric fuel pumps usually do a better job of pushing the fuel than pulling it for long distances. Usually installing the electric fuel pump near the fuel tank outlet and pressurizing the long steel line for the length of the car is preferred. The rubber hose is vulnerable to broken /flipped fan belt damage and with this arrangement the fuel line must be disconnected to permit replacement of the fan belt. A safety electrical cutoff switch that is triggered by engine oil pressure should be a part of the fuel pump wiring.


Airtex Oil Pressure Safety Switches OS75

When oil pressure drops, Airtex oil pressure safety switches cut the flow of fuel to keep you safe. They are engineered and tested to meet or exceed OE specifications to stop your electric fuel pump when your engine stops. Airtex oil pressure switches are important safety features in an accident and can be used with any universal inline fuel pump. These single-inlet, quick-connect outlet switches include gaskets. Stay safe--install Airtex oil pressure safety switches in your vehicles.

I had a hard time trying to decode. A little help would be appreciated.

"0E" appears to be incomplete.

The first set of characters you see are a three character code on the top left corner of the body tag. This represents the date code. The code consists of two digits and a letter. The digits represent the month, and the letter represents the week. Example 11B means November 2nd week. The week began on a Monday. For the last week, if the week went through a Wednesday, it was that month’s week. If it only went through Tuesday, it was the next month’s week. This code represents the date the body was completed by Fisher body. The body would then be delivered to the Chevy side to install the drivetrain and complete the car. There is a definite time interval between when the body was completed and delivered and when the car was finished on the Chevy side and a VIN number assigned. This was usually within a week or two, but sometimes could be longer. This system gives rise to the possibility of a body built date at the end of one month and a final production date at the start of the subsequent month. Fisher would also deliver bodies in groups and was known to sometimes hold back bodies for one reason or another, so it is possible to have cars bodies that are out of sequence with the VIN numbers. (i.e. body 8 has a Vin # higher than body 12). * An exception to the 2 digit- one letter code is a 3 digit number code used on 1965 Los Angeles models built in Mid-September 1964. This is discussed later at the end of the Decoding section.

THERE WAS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF AN INCOMPLETE BODY TAG...

Strange, but I don't see any production date info on your body tag. Even the body build three-digit code on the upper-left is incomplete on your body tag! Here is a normal example...



Here is a breakdown of the information on the body tag you provided...

"0E" ????
In the example, "03B" would indicate: Body Build Date: 03 = March (1964), B = Second Week
The first digits are numbers 1 through 12, indicating the month of manufacture. The letter is A-E, indicate the week of the month. If the letter is a "B" it indicates the second week of the month.

BODY TAG INFO:

STYLE (Year is missing) 0967 WR 5854 BODY
Model 0967 — 2-Door Monza Convertible — 4 Passenger, 09 = 900 Series Monza, 67 = 2-Door Convertible,
WR = Willow Run, Michigan Production Plant, Production Sequence No: 5854
[1964] Monza 2-Door Convertible — 4 Passenger, Total Production: 31,045.

Looks like STYLE 63-0967? Blowing it up a bit more..
Trim 1-712 Paint 948-7
ACC looks like a 2 maybe D not readable for me but something from the 2nd group there.

Hope this helps

I came across this old thread and noticed some discussion about the meaning of the “0E” build date. I am a member of the group that originally researched and decoded the Fisher Tag Accessory codes and we also solved this mystery. The “OE” build date code is unique to the 1964 model year, and is actually 10E (fifth week of October, 1963). We determined this to be true by finding that there are no 1964 tags with “10E”. The fifth week of October, 1963, includes the dates 27-31
Another unique feature of the “OE” tag is the absence of the year in the “Style” code.

Here is another OE tag for you to view: As to WHY the 0E tag is different from the rest, well, we never did figure that out.

Hey, Bill

About the 67 with 110 VOLT WIRE. I say it was going to an auto show where it was to be plugged into a receptacle to operate the lights for display. Note it is body #4!

Hello, Friends! I hope this is the right place to ask this. This is my first post on this forum. I got a great deal on a 1960 Corvair yesterday. I’m trying to track all the info down but not having much luck as many of the old web links are no longer active. I’ve hit a dead end and hope the fine folks here can help tell me more about my car. Thanks in advance!
