    does anyone know how to read engine codes for chevy small block motors...i was told that i have a 327 high output with 350 hp in my 57 chevy, but i want to make sure because it does not have dual point ignition as it should...please let me know if you can read the codes. The codes are as follows:
    F0124HF front right of block
    3858174-left rear of block
    A216-right rear of block
    A216/A186-left and right heads
    GM17 & 3782461-these numbers i saw, but cant find them now, nor can i remember where they were.
    Thank you for the help!
