There was some discussion about the 4 numbers at the bottom being a date code. I made mine  2 65 6   for week = 26, year = 1965. Anyone know if this is correct?

Thanks,
Dave

Dave,
Could the date code be, the calendar day and year like
the one on ebay, day 264 in 1967.
The same as the date codes on the proportioning valves.
Justt a thought,

Guys, I am wondering if "we" could somehow organize something to "loan" our various stamps to one-anouther for all the stuff we stamp? it seems so stupid for each one of us to spend $25.00 to have a stamp made-in this case just for an oil filter!
I had one made here locally and it WAS $25.00 I had mine made with the 28th week of '65 on it........
I'd be glad to send it to anyone who would pay the shipping both ways and take care of it.
I'm also trying to find a date stamp from the 60s to stamp a few parts on my engine...may be someone has one I could borrow??

C5ZZKGT,
 Some of the parts I've restored, once it's stamped, I'm done with the stamp, so you make a good point. I've made stamps for about everything I've found while dismantling my cars and from pictures of others. Maybe not a bad idea. I can tell you that stamping ain't always easy. I've loaned stamps out and it's easy to get frustrated if your doing it for the first time.

Today I finished stamping the filter I'm going to put on my car.  Here's  pic. the "G" wasn't as beautiful as I would have liked but I'm happy with it. It took me 3 trys.

I used Rust-Oleum Engine Enamel Paint 500 degree F, Semi Gloss Black and Yellow. The "G" that was a little messed up was in the word "Genuine". Thanks for all the comments.

I have a '66. Did these use the same stamp on a blue painted filter?

No don't believe so. I've seen some red filters (later cars) with a different end stamping but nothing like the square one on the side

Heres anouther oil filter question that probably been asked before: Does anyone know when the "changeover" took place from the Early '65 "Red" reproduction filters to the "Later" "Gold" one? I guess we can use either the block color filter with the stamp or the correct Red or Gold depending on a particular cars scheduled build date.

I'd also be interested in purchasing the stamp if there were extras.
