Based on the info from my books here, the # 0301353 1500 was installed prior to the 1964 model year (what's yer VIN?), and only as an option (M215, M216) as the 63's were equipped with a standard 1200 40HP engine. Here's what info I've got: Jan 63 VIN (Parts Book does not say) Eng# 0143543 1500 option introduced Aug 63 VIN 1144282 Eng # 0578878 Beginning VIN for 1964 Model year I would say that yer # 0590821 was made within the next month or so after that. (The last 64 made in December of 1963 was VIN 1222500, but VW of course gives no engine number in the books or the microfiche film).
