K=Kelsey Hayes, 1 I believe is the plant.

3 is the year.....73, 83

12? Could be Jan. 2, depending on where the #'s lie in relation to the valve stem hole.

AZ is an 8 incher...8 inches wide.

The normal format is:
K 1 X(year) Y (month) (Valve Stem Hole) Z (day of month) Code.

I believe the 12 is the week of the production year so 12th week of 73 (or 83).
