Um what does that mean, I realize they are all 6A for june and the car inquestion is a june 3 or 4th car, the beginning 3 of the vin is 654xxx so with that info, which should be enough for a expert to calculate I believe, would a 0421DZ stamped block work  Joe

Would a 0421DZ stamped block be OK for a 6A car, it is a 654xxx vin which derives to first couple days in June so this stamp would be a little less than 6 weeks, is this acceptable Joe

John you have all the toys, no, no recess in area either, very confusing, yes there is a front pad stamp, I have just bought a 837 and am going to install   will get a pic of front pad stamp and send, pad is stamped VO515DZ, pretty much lines up with vin 654429 and other eng  dates

Originality / 010 Block Date code

HAs anyway run into a 010 Block that does not have a casting date on it, I mean it is not there, I have removed the hood and got on top of the engine and used the best lightening, and believe me with that scenarion I would not miss it and it is not there, behind the flange on the right side behind the head, 2 little screw indentations to hold the plate onto the form, I know what I am looking for and I tell you it is not there, there is no grinding in the area at all either, just the regular rought texture you would expect, I am thinking as in some of the quality control that went on that at the start of shift someone forgot to screw the date plate on for the date casting and it went unnoticed for a little bit   weird   Joe

Lets take this 1 step farther, I have did a search on this to no avail so here is the question, I am sure this has been touched on, With VIN number 654549 in mind when would that little darling been built, car is 6A, so June car, I played with numbers yesterday and with Jerrys book in mind the diff. between VIN sequence in his book and my VIN and putting out 366 cars a day it looks like JUne 3rd   is this right   Joe

Bought a NOS 69 Z28 Front Grill emblem and I am curious about the black paint outlining the emblem, there is none, the emblem I took off had black outlining paint, the new NOS one did not, any thoughts if this is authentic or a repo sold as NOS   Joe
