Hi,
I have been noticing during my search for a correctly date coded 1966 air conditioning compressor end plate that the date code locations are different. This excludes the plates with the temp switch in them.
Most end plates I see have the date code located centered below the two ports.
I am seeing some with the date code located to the right, now centered under the rh port. I suspect that these are from later cars, although I have seen some with the 6 for year position in the rh locations, I thought in 1976 they had begun using the temp switch.
Other than the date code location change, the plates are identical in every other way.
Can anyone comment on this? Did the location vary or was there a specific changeover point time period?
In the end, I need a correct plate for a late june 66 built car so want to be certain I use the right plate.
Bill
