here is some additional info from the steering box. I checked some detailed photos from one of the other cars. there is a little date tag that extends off the side of the aluminun cover. My May 1969 car has a date of B 1209..not sure what the B stands for, but 120th day of 69 is the rest. The little tag on the 70 car has B 0130...13th day of 1970..car has a January 21st build date. So the unit is original to the car. I also found the number 14 above the 290 on the housing...on the 69 car there is a 9 in that spot with same casting #. I think the 290 refers to the 290th day of 1970 model year, which would be approx the end of Sept. 69. I would assume the housing would be cast prior to the assembly date of the component. These little things are neat..if anyone has additional info on deciphering i would appreciate it.
