Default Intake Manifold Date Code

Where would I find the date code on a '66 SB cast iron intake manifold? Thanks, Don

Very near where the coil bracket bolts to the manifold. It is just behind and below the manifold casting number.

That's odd -- my date code is behind/below the 5-8 runner about 2" forward of the distributor, aft of the vacuum fitting. Doesn't show up too well in this photo, but reads F 6 6 (car is July '66 build date).
