Bendix Master Cylinder date codes
« on: August 22, 2015, 04:46:38 PM »
Is there a rule of thumb on deciphering Bendix built M/C's?  I'm looking at one, presumably from a 1970 Dearborn car that shows "1378B" and  "5607C".

 
Current Project:
64.5 Black DB Cpe
5F07D1131XX  4/14/64


The stable:
65 Ivy Green Coupe 4SPD
68 Candy Apple Red GT500KR 4SPD FB
70 Grabber Blue Boss 429
86 JalapeƱo Red GT  5SPD
91 Emerald Green Saleen Conv. 5SPD
03 Sonic Blue Cobra Conv.
07 Black GT500 Cp

My understanding is that cast date on master cylinders are in a Julian calendar format meaning 001-365 and are not year specific but that doesn't seem to coincide with what you found.
