It is known that in 1971 Kansas City coded trim tag style numbers with an even 3rd digit for a V8 and an odd 3rd digit for an L6 so the Fisher Body Style number is a valid resource to tell if the car was a V8 or L6.
Various letters are found on the third line of the trim tag. These include:
B or W: Reported to indicate the color of optional D88 hood and deck
stripes.
L: Probably the most controversial is the letter L found on Malibu series
Chevelles. It's strongly believed this letter L indicates external SS
Equipment trim but this has NOT been confirmed by any direct knowledge
or GM documentation. While using this letter as a way to determine if
your 1971 Chevelle is a true SS or not is up to you, there is no 100%
guarantee but there is strong evidence that it does.
Z: Found on 13380 El Camino.
