ok here goes.........
your number HM318R 38981679
h = year of engine 1972
m= the Mound Road plant
318 = 318 engine
R= regular gasoline
3898 = Day 3898 is Thursday, March 30, 1972 built on this day
to get this number they used a chrysler 10,000 day calender

and the last four numbers 1679 means it was the 1,679 engine built
hope that helps
