referencing a search on this site, I believe the 016H to be the 16th day of 1968, but I can't figure out the 249U? I remember them to be off of L-78 engines I had. Any input would be appreciated.

I got this from CRG...Joe


GM in the 60s had a 2 letter code where the first letter was the month A=Jan,B=Feb and so forth and the second letter represented the year, H=68, I=69,J=70

Starting in 71 the Julian date replaced the 2 letter. So 1=jan1st & 365= Dec 31st and all points in between. The Letter after the number, the year, still followed in order of previous, J=70, K=71...N=1974
