Charlie,
         The date coding was close but often erratic. The tag that controlled this was changed at the beginning of the shift by the setup person. Often that did not happen right at shift change as that person may have had several patterns to change. Occasionally  the tags were stamped wrong, misplaced, or just plain forgotten. UAW remember!

Frank.  Interesting info. 

I thought of you when I saw the picture Ted shared of the 'B' manifold modified for mounting a teapot for a SC set-up.  Seems like you had done something similar for your '57.  Felix is in the throws of installing a complete '57 set-up on his 'Bird.  He's had everything to do it for years.  I never realized how much there was to doing that.  Don Antilla is into a complete restoration of an 'F' 'Bird he's owned for quite awhile.  Felix and Don are in regular communication about their shared undertakings.

GooD to hear from you!  

Regards,
Charlie

 I have one that looks like a marine style blue so i'm wondering about boat usage. As land lubbers we forget about marine use. Thoughts? i'm assuming y's were in boats for a long time since the boat world is fine with solid lifters
