I went though the fonts and while none of them are an exact match these are the best of the lot.

I’ll have to measure the one on my wiper motor….
calculations of .375=3/8”=Pullman 3
Calculations of .281=9/32”=Pullman 2 1/2
Looks to be Roman font
Nice find. I looked through the brochure and the Roman font. The 6 and 7 don't appear to match up with Roman on the 67 model stampings.
I installed 3000 fonts on my computer and will try to get through most of them this weekend. Hopefully I can find a match and then someone to make a stamp with it.

If I was going to lose sleep over an exact font match, a number stamp could be partially used and the incorrect portion hand painted. It's my job to do work that small.
.25 is a tad too small.

It looks like a Julian date 287 66 so that's Oct 14, 1966.
Were wiper motors stamped like this? Is an mid Oct too early for an 11B car?
Can you post the height of your original stamped numbers?
Tx, Bernie
They appear to be 3/8" tall and 1/4' wide as best I can measure.

I sent a message to BC Stamps, the place that Llyod uses for his stamps.
edit - forgot to add the font samples
I got a response from Leo at BC stamps. He said unfortunately he can't match the font.
So I guess it's one of those three I posted. I do have a CD with 3003 fonts on it but not sure I'm going to go through everyone of them. Who knows, the wiper motor is pretty far down on the list of things to get done and it's not like you can stamp it once it's installed.

How does a week 49, Dec 5-11 1966, tank get into an 11B NCRS dated 11/25/1966 car?
I thought it was original to the car.

Great question!
Does anyone know the font type?
What about the ink color?

Thanks gentlemen,
I've seen a few that look like that but they look very different than mine so had not ordered one.
I'll get one and report back.

I'm rebuilding my washer pump and I'm having a hard time locating the correct parts for the pump.
In particular I can't source the pump diaphragm.

As William would say. It does not compare well with other 04C tags..

Originality / Re: 1969 Camaro Z28 shifter knob or ball options
« on: April 19, 2024, 05:03:31 PM »This seems like a good opportunity to clarify something.
The chrome knob did not use the lock nut as used on the Hurst T-handle. I regularly see a lock nut under the knob, even on cars going through judging.
I assume they didn't have/need one to square up a shift pattern since it was on the console?
