My casting numbers snuggled up next to the starter is
B 262

Stamped numbers behind distributor is

F0228JC

Tell me if I am correct that according to the casted numbers, the block was casted Feb 26, 1962 and the stamped numbers is saying Flint plant assembled Feb 28. I assume same year 1962.

If J = 235, what does the C represent?

More interesting is how close the casted date is as compared to the stamped date. Did they actually assemble the engine 2 days after the block was casted? Since the stamped date does not have an actual year (as far as I know) maybe it wasn't assembled in '62.

Who can explain this? Who has the knowledge? Who cares? :confused:
