I've never figured out what the /A stands for, but what's the number on the block? If it says 130.983, that's a 280SL engine. If it says 130.980, that's for a sedan. There will also be an engine number after that which should match the number on your data card, if you have it. If it is a sedan engine, you may want to check the distributor and camshaft that were used, as those used in the SL gave it a bump more horsepower. Also, you'd want to note if it's an early or late model M130, as there are differences.
