Engine Clock Stamping #1
Peter Cummins Sign in to contact	Topic Creator (OP) Feb 7, 2002 08:45 AM

Chris said to look at the clock stamping on right side of the engine below the oil filter to determine the date of manufacture. Well here it is:
At the top of the dial is 28
Bottom of dial is 69
left side of dial is 2

Okay any clues here? Obviously the engine IS a 69. But from 10/67 to 10/69 the engine is an 18GF.
From 10/69 to 10/70 the engines were 18GH and 18GJ.

Also stamped on block next to the starter is a series of numbers of which the first two rows the 3 letter prefix is garbled. They could be the same as the last row.
***1365
***1442
12H1777
What engine type do I have?
Somewhere out there someone knows the answer to this riddle.

I found out this morning that the angled rod stopped with the GF engines.

You know, I keep meaning to figure this out on my 66. (No engine number plate, and I know it's a later model engine.)

Now that I have a floor under my car, maybe I'll crawl under this weekend and get the reading off my "clock." (Chris told me about this months ago, I just never got 'round to it...)
