[Unreal]

The vin was not moved to the oil filter area until Jan 1969. Also, I believe the 8000 tach was a late production change...others were 7000. Short of protectoplate, or broadcast sheet, the only other "proof" is numbers matching drivelie. Go beyond the VINs, and check casting dates on all major parts...do they make sense compared to the build date of the motor? (usually within 2 weeks...note I said USUALLY, I once saw an unrestored block, with a casting date in October, and an engine build date of the following May!
