Default 68 3 x 2 intake

I have a 68 3 x 2 oval intake # 3937795 dated 1 2.16.67.
The chevy by the numbers shows this being a late 68, but by the date code wouldn't this be early. Just wanting to make sure what I have is correct.

Thanks for your time
Tony

That's the correct casting for a '68-69 L68 400HP. If like my former #3937797 L71 rectangle port intake, the date code was under the oil splash shield, which pretty much makes dating them moot as no judge should ever require documenting it.

The late tri power was used after Feb or March. What is your build date?
