Engine ID Tag Decoding?

I was wondering if anyone could help me fully decode what an engine ID tag means. Here is what is on it:

429 69 4
9-A K815-T



What I am wondering about is the 4 standing alone and also the K815-T at the end. From my understanding the other stuff means it is a 429 from January 1969 and that makes sense, but I am curious as to its original application. This is the tag that is under the coil mount or something like that (its been a while since I removed it).

Thanks.

I didn't see this thread until now.Sorry,



429 (Engine CID) 69 ( Model Year) 4 ( Change Level)
9-A ( Year & Month of Production -January 69)
K815-T ( Engine Code Number)

It was out of a 69 Thunderbird.

Wow thank you for the reply. I thought that Thunderbirds all had 4bbl engines. This 429 is a 2bbl. I guess I just was misinformed. Thanks again!
