Default C2 Date Codes

Here we go again eh?
I have a guy looking to buy my 1966 C2 427. I am looking for the Date Code on the Block and the Rear End Housing. Not finding the right info online so I thought that I would ask here.
Can someone tell me where to find these numbers?

The engine block date is on the side of the block above the pan rail in front of the starter. It will be upside down from looking at that bottom. The rear end is on the bottom of the case between the spring base and the strut rod bracket. It might be hard to read
