This is my understanding of these engines.

The number on your head likely is from being a replacement head.

Thanks a lot..

But how do you see its from the period 63'-66'?
When i look it up I just find that the engine is from 63' - 76'..
I get the date code now, but the "5" could be 75' or am I wrong??

Thanks again!


Thank you!
