VL = high comp carburetted 202 from VB-VK. Red (9 port) version is from a VB originally.

VL783xx will be the number (5 digits) as they never got to VL783xxx (6 digits) before they stopped making them (actually the iron V8 which continued the numbers didnt even get that high in VS3 - they only reached the high 600,000 mark).
So in that case |

The "L" part of the prefix actually started with HQs and LJs in the early 70s, ie QL, JL, HL etc. Check the date cast code to cross check which model its from I think its near the oil pump or oil filter on sixes.

Glass dome pump is normal for almost all red motos. Starter is probably off a Starfire 4.

Commodores ran both types of starter on the 6. They also had 2 types of alternator, and 2 types of wiper motor!
