Default *** Engine Numbers on stamp pad ***
CF member Mainline666 posted a thread in regards to the authenticity of the numbers on his engine stamp pad. Just wondering if anybody can provide pics of definite non restamped engine pads - just for comparison. Thanks

Not sure what year you are looking for, but this is from my '75 after being stripped.

Hi,
Here's the pad from my 71 sb.
It shows a pretty typical pad with broach marks and stamps.
Regards,
Alan

7t2vette:

I don't know about the 'experimental part' possibility, but that block has a milled surface, rather than a broached one [for those who want to know the difference]. Who knows what those numbers mean?
