I "think" dating began in 1967.

4D could be April 74.

Jack dating began with January 67 production. A7 or 7A (either way was used) is Jan 67. B is Feb etc. I have had lots of them (real ones that is). Prior poster is probably correct..that is a 1974. That jack should be much bigger than a midyear jack. There were 3 versions of the midyear jack. See Noland's book for nice pictures and description. Gary

You will need a type 1 jack for your 64. No date.

Here is a photo of my 67 jack date code "B7" which translates to Feb 1967.
