Dates
69 SS396 Nova built the 2nd week of Feb. What are some of the earliest date that would be used on the engine(starter,alt,etc)? I have the block, heads and a intake. I also have the correct fan and spacer but looking for most of the rest. I have the 4346 carb but it is a 71. Thanks for any help!

Re: Dates
The assembly code for the engine is T0205JH. Will anything within 90 days work or does it need to be closer to Feb.

Re: Dates
Many of the bolt-ons have common dates...carbs tend to have closer dates..alternators can have a wider range. Most starters have a date close to the vehicle build date, usually within 30 days...Of course these are my observations on the parts and cars I have seen or own.
Now, to your fan...the correct fan is a 5 blade unit(blades are staggered) with a "w" stamp on the back...there is no spacer, despite what the repro catalogs tell you [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img] wilma

Re: Dates
The accesorial engine items can be manufactured up to 6 months prior. The NCRS and Bloomington accepts this window. Personally I like the dates to be within 2 months of the motor.

Re: Dates
I have the correct fan and if it did take a spacer I have one that is 1". I am missing the alt., water pump and the distributor. Looking at some of the prices they are asking for these parts, I will be missing them a while longer. Thanks for the information though, it helps a lot.
