Decoding Protect-O-Plate
The Protect-O-Plate contains information about your Monte Carlo including engine, transmission and rear axle details. The metal protect-o-plate was attached to the New Vehicle Warranty booklet given to the owner of the vehicle. The information on the plate is a mirror image since it was used as a stamp on documents when warranty work was performed. See the links below for information on how to decode your protect-o-plate.

Excuse me Mr. English Major, but what exactly is a “RECAL”? Is it short for “recalibration”? Is GM going to flash the OBDII or something along those lines? Asking for a friend🤣😂…

The brochure you posted was for 1971. The rallys were part of the SS454 package for 1971 so what it says in that brochure is correct. For 1970, the rally wheels were not part of the SS454 package. A 1970 SS454 came with the standard wheel covers on 15x7 rims unless you ordered the optional wheel covers or rally wheels at an extra cost. -
Today, April 27 1971 is the build date of my 71 Monte Carlo. I drove it home May 14, 1971. So happy I was able to keep it all these years. Pictures are in front of my childhood home. Good times!!!!!!
