K19 Big block RH exh. manif. __opinion on cast date

[Wayne M.]

I've been tripping over this boat anchor for 20 years; replaced at that time with correct 301/302's for my 396.

So what is the cast date ? C_9_7 (March 9th 1967); or, is the month letter a "G" (July) ? If the consensus is 'G', would that be too late for 1967 A.I.R. production, with last car off the line about July 11th to 14th, depending on which birthday source is used ?

I'm pretty confident that it's a "G".

I'm pretty confident that it's a "G".

I tend to agree; found another pic I took a few years back -- different lighting might help.

--- Just thought of something else -- looked at 1967 calendar, and March 8 or 9 fall on Wednesday and Thursday; whereas July 8 or 9 is a Saturday or Sunday.

Well, I'm pretty sure the first digit is a "9". I don't know if the Tonawanda foundry poured on Sunday, or not.
