VIN help

I recently picked up a '77 Chatau and having some trouble with the VIN. I've tried searching for it but have come up empty. The VINs E22AHY69459. If anyone could help in decryping it, I would appreciate it.

E22 = E250 Club Wagon, 8 pass.
A = 8-460 (7.5L) 4BC Econoline
H = Assembly Plant, Lorain
Y69459 = Sequential Unit Number

They never put an FE in a van, so no 390's, and the dual tanks is a popular option, a friend has it with the 302.
