If it is from a VP it will be a SERIES II v6 Buick engine.
Telltale signs are thermostat at the front and aluminium fuel rails. sorry mate cant help with the numbers but one phone call to local Holden genuine parts dealer and I bet they could sort it very quicky.

Having said that the engine does look like a SII with the thermo housing at the front. Could be a VN series 1.5 too.

Its a VN series 1, have a look at the coil pack.
And yes later VN had a series 2 engine.

This was the Holden SII official date for the 90 engine. Just had to look at my spread sheet a bit more.

the coil pack has bee replaced for a series 2 one.
i had to replace the original one, so i could get the tacho adaptor to work correctly. something about the early coil packs only having a 5 volt feed on the tach wire, and the later ones having 12 volts ? that's what the manufacturer of the tacho adaptor said anyway. as soon as i swaped the coil pack over, the tacho started working correctly. jason |
