In 1975 Pontiac started stamping extra numbers (1/4" tall) on their heads.These head numbers represented chamber sizes.They are usually stamped on the machined pads by the valve covers. 2- 101 cc's. 4- 91cc's. 6- 101cc's. 7- 98cc's. 8- 98cc's. 9- 91cc's. (Let me know if you have any more of these.)
