Date code on distributor advance
« on: July 22, 2023, 04:54:39 PM »

Came across this unrestored 1968 GT350 last weekend at the SAAC show.  Havent seen this before, but the vacuum advance had an ink stamp on the back that would match as a date code for this car.  Sharing photos here....looks to be 7G26.  That would be a July date code and the sheetmetal on the car had August dates so it would match.  Curious if anyone else has ever seen this detail before.

Yes have seen similar markings before on some - not all distributor vacuum advances


Many of us took pictures of that car at SAAC in PIT this year

I hope that you plan on posting some pictures in a unrestored thread so those of us that did not attend this year can enjoy also.

Didn't spend a long time with the car but yes will share and maybe others can add onto the thread with theirs :)

There are others unrestored cars that I captured also that will end up on the site also.
