What do you guys think of this alternator stamping in the attached photo?

How about this? It's actually real.

Hey! That's my B-day!


A BITD response would be, &quot;that's outta sight man.&quot;

I have another example from that same day..

[William]

I know of five Z/28s with that date. My SWAG is they meant August 29 or 31.

SWAG = Scientific Wild-Assed Guess?

Yup!

A thought I have about 837s is that some dates may be plant-specific. I have a few dates that are known [8L30, 9F2] but no Camaro examples to date. Possible that an entire days' 837 production was shipped to one plant and only used there.

btw, that may just be a mark under the 7, not a 4. How would you fill in the 4 and make the surface look that good?
But I don't think I'd risk my $$ on that one.

I have no idea how the manipulation is done. It is my understanding that heat can be applied and that stamps close up?

There were a couple of guys who got caught restamping OLDs parts for years and selling them off as authentic. I have seen many of the parts and it is not easy to tell on some,
