Topic: 65/66 HiPo balancer date code question?

[Morsel]

Hey all,

Been looking at HiPo harmonic balancers and have a date code question, I see some listed for example as 5J, and other listed as J5, so the date and year reversed, was there different suppliers for these and just different methods of date stampings? Also which would more then likely have been a proper one for a San Jose car, or could it have been both

Thanks,

Jason

From the ones I have on record and pictures of and haven't looked into this in the past but gave it a quick look

I see a mix of both year and month first in pre 66 stamped examples so far so it may be time related or as you suggested possibly two outside providers

OK, seems like if you have examples of both ways then it's not something I need to concern myself with as long as I get the correct date code for my build.

Thanks as always Jeff.
