Please decipher pad stamp on this 283
This 283 is in a 58 that was built on August 4, 1958.
Casting number is 3737739. Date block was cast "G 1 58".
So since the block has 2 digits for the year it was not a Flint cast Corvette block correct ?
Pad stamp is "T 7 I 5 D" 5th digit is only one I'm not positive on...i think its a 5 but may be a 6 or a lower case "b" but i think letters were all upper case, right ?
Please let me know what the pad stamp reveals.
Thanks !
