Interesting, the long span between the end plate casting date of H-31-6 and the actual assembled date of 02-13-7 and finally making its way onto a car in late June.
Keith -- Thanks for posting these pics. It seems [based on your example] that by late '67 model year all of the "markers" are of the 2nd design (ie. clutch 3 square holes; crimped [not swaged case]; relief valve plated and with round hole; drier with square boss).
Now, if only some souls will do the same for their known original 1966 model year compressor, as well as their dehydrator.

Jim,
Great pics! Thanks for the effort!
What is the code on your label? Interesting it has a later style relief valve and yet the early body and hub face style. Was L5 the headmarking original for the bracket mounting bolt?

You are welcome. I love when I get to help , rather than just get help from this forum ! Unfortunately , Pictures are practically my only forte !
As to the rest , on my code , what you see is what you get { 041 }. The rest of the label has delaminated , and the L5 bolt is what was on there when I took it off .
I don't know if it is correct or not .
**** Update ! I just checked with the Nolan Adams Fact Book , and it does indeed show an L5 bolt listed . So I will go out on a limb and say it is correct , or at least original . ****

Jim,
Thats great, I have quite a few of the L5 head marking bolts from systems I have scavenged and I always assumed they were later issue. On the date, based on the casting date of the end plate, I will assume the code read something like April 10th thru the 19th? That would make sense based on the build of your car.

66 Chevelle (June 66 build) w/Compressor CODE 050561 has a dehydrator w/o the boss.
67 Corvette (Sept 66 build) w/Compressor CODE 072762 has a dehydrator w/the boss.
Both appear to be the original dehydrators and both have evidence of the painted over inspection stickers, i.e., some remains & some areas of bare metal where the stickers came off.

Peter,
Thanks, on the two compressors, which body style are they?
