I have the Letter I in my date code on my DZ Block

Danny, I believe the letter "I" and number "1" were often used as the same stamp by mistake or to replace a damaged or misplaced stamp. Especially when used on blocks dated with lots of 1's in your case. I believe your DZ block is a Nov built engine, V1119DZ is Nov 19, 1968 or 69 if it was a late car.

Thanks Kevin! That is what I thought.

I find the letter "I" was not used to date the Electrical components.
AC Delco did not like to use the Letter "I" on Alternators,Distributors,Starter motors,Horns & Horn Relays,etc.

How about trunk jack rivot heads? My car is 11(D) 1968, but the rivot head says L8. Is that Nov. or Dec. My car is an endura bumper car if that matters. It has the VE3 head that was painted like a blue color.

Thanks, sam
