428 service blocks (available at the parts counter) and FEs for industrial use were still cast in to the early 70's. My point, esoteric as it was, being that it doesn't really make sense to impose "date of the cast" emissions requirements on service blocks (which are, by their definition, "replacement parts"). But expecting the DMV to deal with that is expecting too much.
