Whoops! 3 is the first digit of the frame and the year. Mine is a 3 also and 1963. Sorry about that.

Hi guys
Newby user here.
We have 6 Engines and are restoring 3 bikes all CA77 Dreams.
I have been looking for the formula for identifying the years of these engines. Looking at this page I am confused. if the first number is the year then how is the first one inthis thread a 65?
Sorry to be so Nieve but can you guys help?
here are 5 of my 6 numbers
CA77E31695
CA77E210092
CA77E103882
CA77E212478
CA77L319362
I understand the frame Vin's are on the left side of the body above the peg mount is this correct?
Thanks guys I am looking forward to the information on this board as we restore these bikes.

CA77E31695 MISSING A NUMBER

CA77E103882 1964
CA77E212478 1962
CA77L319362 1963 NO (L) THE FRAME NUMBERS ARE WHERE YA SAY
1965 WAS FIRST YEAR FOR MOST OF THESE BIKES
TO HAVE 7 RATHER THAN 6 DIGITS

Thanks IM
I suspected the the one was missing a number and that the "L" is actually an "E". my father did the checking so I was un able to tell for myself.
