What’s the giveaway for the repro manifold?

Post by: Jonesy on February 04, 2024, 10:55:50 PM: The pad stamping looks reasonable to me. Would be itnering to see the whole pad. I would think the partial VIN would be stamped on it in this timeframe.

Post by: boomer632 on February 08, 2024, 12:49:24 PM: That pad is assembly date 11/05/68? Generally, VINs were started to be stamped on the oil filter boss around mid December of 68. More than likely, the VIN should be on the pad on this motor right?
