dating Side post battery cables
BULLITT65:
So this came up recently while I was looking for an original side post battery cable (6297651 AV), the date on the back side of the terminal is (9B).
I looked at my positive cable and it is also dated (9B). I asked Gary what date is on the back of his negative cable of his October Z and he reported (12B)
I am curious if any other owners have there original side post cables and what the dates are on the back side of the terminal connection, and if anyone knows how to de-code these.
Thanks
KurtS:
I doubt it's a date, probably a mold number.

Austin, I hate to correct you, but my Z28 was a September 18 production... :)
PS. I would also concur with Kurt... that the code is likely a mold code rather than a date code.

BULLITT65:
sorry about that Gary.
Wonder why they would have a different mold ?

GM used multiple molds for essentially every part they made... it was a necessity.
Austin: You have the opportunity to start a 'data collection' for these codes on original battery cables, and when you have sufficient data, it will probably be obvious what the code is for (a date or a mold #)...or ??
