[66 L78 ragtop]

He may have changed his initial position...The book I referenced was his first edition.

The aug cast 323 block that I made reference to was from a 68 L78 Camaro with a 02B TT date. I looked at that car with the intent to purchase but backed out because of the discrepancy between cast date and stamp pad date.
The stamp date was jan 68. After I backed out of the deal, I later read that up to 8 month difference in cast vs pad dates were not that uncommon due to strikes in 1968...?

What are the odds that the car had its original block considering the time difference between cast and stamp dates? The pad looked real
