A = Jan B = Feb... the letter I, is not used - being too similar to a 1. L = Nov M = Dec The cast iron intake and exhaust manifolds, should have a date-code on them too, same configuration as the engine block and water pump. 1 CHESTNUTXE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
