Post #1 stated he has a 351M.

I asked about the decal because he typed both (engine family) as you noticed Eric and because it will have some info I need.

Do you have a red/white decal on the driver's side valve cover ?
1979 trucks had the decals on the driver's side of the hood, not on valve covers like previous years.

His decals should be brown text on white background for 49 state emissions.

What colors are the decals?

All '79 decals were on the hood. All of my '79s are.

Original hood? Original engine? Original valve covers?

Most likely a '78 motor judging from that information.

The calibration code is there for factory records for settings like idle RPM, static timing, crub idle, kickdown, etc.

You guys are talking about this engine sticker.





Not the calibration label





Calibrations label.

It actually identifies the engine in question and gives info for Vacuum hose routing & engine specs.

shown here.
