That is a 1970+ stamped cast Ford number. The date is January 8, 1970, and 3rd week or 3rd shift.

Picked up this C7AF starter from 7F01C129xxx    Clearly mechanically stamped, no ink stamp.  Black paint still on it.  I suppose an ink stamp may have washed off.  But the stamp is there.

It would be ether metal stamped with the engineering number or ink stamped on the starter. Not both. 67 was the transition year for this .Ink early ,metal stamp later in the production year.

So what numbers do I look for on a starter.
Car is mid February 68......... So a date like this 8A8C
Which would be a 68 jan 8th
What about a casting number?

Thanks

So small block automatic application. The picture below is an example of what your looking for though date is from one a few months later that your likely was

What about a casting number?

No "casting " number but as described there are engineering numbers stamped in the main case or ink stamped depending on application and supply it appears

Haven't done it before but you might want to try calling  Bob Antounian at CAE, Inc. Quality Remanufactured Starters & Alternators in Van Nuys, California. They also sell rebuilt units on EBay and normally show stamping details with dates
