I would say they had a problem with that stamping. I am sure there where some weird things to happen back in the day.

Need to see the car in person.....no block casting date mentioned, no picture of 3/4" plug or 4 bolt caps....does have proper tach and oil gauge.

last time I looked the car got bid up over 40k and looked like it was going to sell. I hope the new owner is prepared for what he's going to receive.

Thanks for the "heads-up" on the Corvette. If I had not spoken with you, I would have gotten sucked into the hole with the others. Ed https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: looks are deceiving L-71
 

I'm still wondering if the issue with the car is the stamp or if there is another issue?
I wouldn't completly rule that stamp out as not being a factory issued piece. It would certainly require explaining for judging or resale, though.
