Gentlemen: I've been lurking on this (and other) sites for a while and finally decided to come up for air. I've been bitten for several years - this year's trip to London will be our third (reservations at the Hampton). Now that the kids are grown, the house is sold
and Mama's on board with the program, we're seriously looking for a car.
Problem: I'm in an Ohio e-check county (Summit), so block casting dates take on added significance. I've got a line on a car with a 351 that hasn't had to be e-checked previously, so I need to get the casting date off the block. The owner doesn't seem to be too familiar with the breed, and he doesn't know the year of the engine and hasn't had any luck looking for the casting date. From the postings on this site, it seems like the date code should be somewhere near the starter, but so far the owner hasn't been able to find it. Is there a particular trick to finding the code or could it be somewhere else where he's not looking?
Thanks in advance.
