Starter Solenoid Date Code?
« on: December 11, 2009, 06:22:06 PM »
Did 65 or 66 starter solenoids have date codes on them? If so, does anyone have a pic of an original?
Thanks,
Dave

OK Dave took a trip out to the shop and this is what I found  (will find time to get all the variations out and post an article when I get time after the 1st)


Looks like none on the FoMoCo early ones I have without vents




Other later examples while I was in the box

C6AF version and date






C7AF version and date






C9AF Heavy Duty version and date

Thanks Jeff, The original from my 66 dearborn looks exactly like your first set of photo's. It was so rusted I thought that maybe there was a date code I just couldn't see. Looks like the date stamps came later.
