Norwood Motor line gang stamper with the individual stamps used for hand stamping.

FWIW..I am pretty confident I have at least 6 of the individual stamps actually used on the
ZL-1 motors and perhaps others as well in 1969.

There I was in high school just cruising around in my L72 Corvette when I spotted a near-new '69 Z that I bought for 1200 bucks.

Reminds me of the scene in "Top Gun" when Maverick is telling his MiG story and Iceman coughs and says "BULL*HIT" at the same time.

Yes it is! Perfect original example of the reality of the assembly line.

The X stamp on display might be the one they used on your case..

Could be... What it represents is an accurate example of a gang stamper used by the chevrolet motor division during the period being discussed in a setting that photographically matches the Norwood element arrangement for the assigned worker.

BTW... John kyros sends his regards.
