Default date code on a 3844461 intake

A few years ago I was looking for an intake manifold and someone gave me a stock dual plane. I ended up finding an aftermarket single plane and for this reason, the dual plane ended up going on the shelf. Fast forward a few years to yesterday, and I checked the casting number. It was 3844461 and came back as a 64-65 365hp Vette intake. I'm not much into restoring cars so this intake doesn't do me much good but I figure someone looking to properly restore their car might be interested in it. Unfortunately, someone removed part of the intake divider, but besides that it's in pretty good condition.

A couple of people have asked me what the date code was but I'm not sure where to look. I appreciate any help!

The date code does not matter because it is under the splash sheild on the bottom side. Tell em it doesn't matter because once it's installed you can't see it anyway. Dave

You also can't see that the plenum has been cut but it is still worth less because of it. Do you have to remove the cover or can you see under it?

The cover has to be removed to see the date code.
