I have deciphered the casting numbers on my engine installed in my '50 to discover I have a 235 cast in 1959 (using lucky mold number 13). I can't find any info on the serial number on the distributor pad, F325JC703. The 703 looks hand stamped.

Any help would be appreciated.

It looks like RingLeader is asking about an engine serial number?

Here are 1958 and 1959 engine serial number decodings:

http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/chevyresto/59tsn03.htm

F325JC703 does not contain year information.
F = Flint, MI
3 = March
5 = 25th
JC = 4000 series and 3100/3200/3600/3800 series with Heavy Duty clutch (RPO-227)
Look at the indices in those books for RPO numbers and features.

The 703 is where a sequence number should be, but those numbers usually had a minimum of 4 digits, starting at 1001.

Thanks tcelderman! Just the info I needed. Odd on the sequence number though, I went back and checked and it definitely says 703. Maybe someone wasn't paying attention that day in '59.
