They used a propane device to fire the engine,in place of a carburetor as it didn't have a fuel line/gas tank attached to it yet,and also couldn't,due to that being a fire hazard during shipment. So they had to be shipped to their destined car manufacturer "dry". So technically,you could have an engine with a carburetor date PROceeding your Tonawanda assembly date.

There are likely common dates for these since they were batched produced...I'm sure the date code police can offer some acceptable options...or someone here must have a suitable dated piece.
good luck.. -wilma
