Nope sorry.

The "D 1" is the pattern number at the Defiance (Ohio) GM foundry - that foundry logo is to the left of the "D".

John was there any connection to D 1,2,3,4 in time frames from Ohio? Just curious about the number. Most want to tie it to date codes in some way.

Nope. It's not a date code - it's foundry pattern number identification.

Does this look correct?

Opinions on this stamp. Original?

Hi Brad,
    Normally the pad where the code is stamped has a more flatter machined look from some of the ones I have seen in the field. But that is not to say your example hasn't had some surface oxidation to cause the rough texture. I have two WT's on my '67's I can look at but from memory the fonts on yours look legit.

I've seen a lot with the machined look also, but my original 309 US looks exactly like his surface. My stamping is barely legible though.

Pad looks aged as if it was rusted.  No expert here, but that stamp looks to be a little too fresh and crisp on an otherwise OLD looking surface . JMO

 Here are the two 'WT' master cylinders on my cars. Both are original to the car with the LOS unit being unrestored.
I looked all over and cannot find any Julian date besides the part number and foundry cast info.
The 05B NOR stamp has a light 'W' stamped compared to the LOS unit.

Mike I have seen both more than once. What's date on Los car.
I know of a early Los that has stamp like your nor .

[Mike S]

Hi Brad,

 The 04B LOS UOIT lists a date of April 13, 1967
For the 05B NOR car the NCRS document lists the date of May 12, 1967

Here is a close up of the NOR WT. The machining is not flat so the W isn't as crisp.


Thanks,
Mike

I was looking at stamps and looked over the one date code. Both cars are so close. But we all know there was a lot higher production numbers were higher in nor.
Well I'm still in the market for one for my 7. This all helps me with the hunt for orig.
There are a lot of faked ones out there.

The NOR WT characters looks like the one you posted. Where is that from?
