429 70 6 K K 811-A

429

70 = 1970

6 = Change Level (US built).

K = Assembled in October 1969.

K = VIN engine code / K = 1969/71 429 4V / The VIN engine code is the 5th digit on 1961/79 Passenger Cars.

811 = 429 4V.

A = FoMoCo usage only.

Info source: 1965/72 Ford Passenger Car Parts Catalog / Text / Engine Identification Tag Charts / Section 60, Pages 1 & 4.
