Engine id tag?

Hi,
I've got the 1971 Ford G100 rid postal vehicle. It has an inline 6. Wondering where I can find the engine id tags? I checked this site which gives instructions on how to find them.
How to Identify a Ford Motor: 9 Steps - wikiHow

It says it's under the coil bolts. I don't see anything there. Any ideas of other places I could find this info?
thanks,
Ben

On sixes it is usually somewhere on the left side of engine. If it's not there, then it is prolly long gone.

one of the sixes I recently picked up had the tag under the coil retaining bolt. None of my other sixes have tags.
