Title: List of visible date-coded and/or part number-stamped parts
Post by: BuickGS65 on May 05, 2020, 04:06:45 PM

Hello:

I wanted to compile a list of the visible date-coded parts and/or visible parts that have the part number stamped on them.  Here's what I came up with:

Visible Date-Coded Parts or Parts with Part Number Stamped on them:
Alternator (stamped on housing)
Voltage Regulator (stamped in base)
Distributor (metal strap on shaft; also stamped under cap but not visible)
Carb (stamped on base)
Wiper motor (silver decal)

Did I miss anything? Any other parts that have a visible part number or date-code stamping? Radiator?

Thanks for your input.
Dan

Hi all,

Here's a link for carb date codes in the dual quad section:

You could list casting date codes for Blocks, heads, imagine transmission and rear axles, depending upon how far down the numbers matching rabbit hole
