My Head shows casting # 3836848, Patrick's shows that to be a '56,
but the casting date is D 7 9
what the....?

3836848 was the casting code from 1956-1962
D 7 9
D = 4 = April
7 = 7th day
9 = 1959

Where is your info from...?
Also, (in your reply) was this a typo? 9 = 1958
Thanks again, Jim | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | Thanks for pointing out the year error, Jim (it is now edited/corrected, above) If Patrick posted that code was available only in 1956, that is incorrect. Does Patrick show codes for 235 heads after 1956? My info/sources for castings codes are listed on this page on my website. | | |
