Abstract
Disclosed is a nameplate which can provide both part and manufacturer information and timing guidance is a functional identification nameplate for a diesel fuel injector. The nameplate is attached to the top of the injector body and provides an alternative to the practice of re-machining the injector body's front face to remove past information in the remanufacture of the injector. Additionally, the nameplate serves as a functional static timing reference indicator in providing a vertical riser extending up from the top of the injector.
