Yeah, it is a "clock." You will also find a D and N with an arrow pointing to one of them to indicate AM or PM. So when you find the date code by the distributor, you'll know the exact hour the block was cast. The code by the distributor may look like J308 which would indicate October 30, 1968 (or 1978, etc.) The date code on the block is hard to see. A hand held mirror or one of those mirrors on an extension rod may help. The mirror on an extension rod is also handy for seeing vehicle ID numbers on the front of the block.
