Re: water neck 660
I've seen the necks with the numbers cast on the flange on unmolested smallblocks.
The ones casted on the tube,on Big Blocks. Can't really say which ones of those had small font to large though.

Re: water neck 660
was under the impression that they went from tube to flange sometime in the 69 model year, but I don't know when. I have one of each in case I ever find out for sure.
PS: Remember a time when no one knew what "font" meant?

Re: water neck 660
Early ones are on the flange, while the later versions are on the tube.

Re: water neck 660
I have probably pulled 50+ 660 housings from junk yard cars and pick ups. I have one on ebay right now. The number on the base seems to be 1968 and early 69. After those dates they all seem to be numbered on top. Most of the cars were full size from the Janesville plant. Earl

Re: water neck 660
OK, but when did the '660 housing with the carb return
spring - tab show up? I see these on restored cars all the time and I don't think they are correct. Anyone know? Nuch

I have seen and inspected several early BB 69 camaros that have the 660 on the tube and the provision for the spring. My 9B 69 BB survivor camaro is configured this way as well. My thinking was that it had something to do with different suppliers they used on any given day, week or month. I have not observed the pattern you suggest.

Re: water neck 660
I havea late 69z28 11A that had the numbers on the flange. I went through the concourse certifaction,and they said that it was wrong. it should have been on the tube.I still think that the one on the flange was right.
