1966 Jack Handle Hole or Holes

[Christopher A.]

My car's jack handle did not pass judging at Bloomington two weeks ago. I was told that the Jack Handle should have 3 holes and not 1. My car was off the road for 34 years before i purchased it and while i cant be certain that it wasn't swapped out with another handle, i dont believe it has been and this is why....The man next to me had a 66 that he had owned since 1967 and his had 1 hole. The 66 on the other side of my car that was restored 27 years ago also had the same jack handle. My car was produced on April 18th of 1966.
So i guess the point of my post is to ask, how many of you have a 1966 with a jack handle that has only 1 hole and what is your production date???

Thanks

I thought it should be one hole from previous discussion here on the DB however the Judging Guide says three holes. Have you searched the archives?
