It is known that in 1971 Baltimore coded trim tag style numbers with an even 3rd digit for a V8 and an odd 3rd digit for an L6 so the Fisher Body Style number is a valid resource to tell if the car was a V8 or L6.

Various letters are found on the third line of the trim tag. These include:

B: B has been found on convertible, 13437 sport coupe, 13569 Malibu 4-Door Sedan, Monte Carlo and sometimes with D and does NOT indicate SS Equipment.
D: D has been found on convertible and El Camino, sometimes with B.
