Hi Everyone,
I hope this doesn't sound too stupid, but could anyone help me decode my Vin
Tag?

I understand the first line 70=Year of the car   1=Chevrolet   36=Malibu,
Custom El Camino, or Concours, 8-cylinder   A=Atlanta/Lakewood, Georgia
22440=The production number

770=Tim Code Bench Seat Saddle-but I have seen 770 also designated Medium
Saddle or Dark Saddle depending on what part of the interior is called out.
Would that mean the seats are colored saddle as well as the door panels and
head liner and everything else is either Medium Saddle or Dark Saddle?      

50   50=Upper & Lower Body Color second one could also designate Fabric
Color of the Upper Body  50=Gobie Beige

It is the rest of the numbers and letters on the tag I do not understand or
have not been able to find.

Here it is as I took it off of the tag on the car:

ST   70-13637           A               22440

TR   770      B     BO     B90      50   50

01D                 199880             B10319

Any help with the unidentified B   BO   B90 and the entire third line would
be really appreciated.  
I looked into this very quickly when I got the car just to determine if it
was the correct year, body and interior color, and where it was
manufactured.  Then I got onto all the things you do when you first get your
classic Chevelle without finding out what the rest of the tag meant.

While I am being stupid can anyone explain how you determine if you have
straight or angled spark plugs on a 70 small block (350)?
