Hi 70,
Jacks from the late 60, and early 70s did have a date stamp code.
The code was on the outer arm near the cranking end. the code is the last digit of the year followed by a letter for the month. For example 9M for December 1969.
Regards,
Alan
PS: My January 1971 built 71 has a jack with a 0L code.

I looked at my jack, the A is an easy find, i looked where Alan said and i see an obvious 0(zero), then about an eighth of an inch away it looks like an upside down "G" So it's safe to say it's a 70 July???? Thats a question, not a statement!!!
Thanks!!!

Look for the dated code but never jack your car with one of those pieces of you know what, mine broke on me and dropped the car down, lucky I didn't have it all the way up yet. Probably used only 10 times

The A is supposed to be for Auto Specialties Manufacturing Co., of St. Louis, the company that made the jacks.

71 jack
1 B is 1971 February. If this was in your car originally then it does match with you build date of your car.
Thanks, Grant
