There is an aluminum VIN plate, about 3 in x 5in, mounted on top of the horizontal firewall on the exhaust side of the engine bay, right in front of the voltage regulator.

The chassis number is also stamped into the top surface of the frame, just in front of the engine mount on the carb side and this should match the number on the plate.
