Gapless provenance would mean we have a very early build and a very late built SD with that starter. Do we?

I know it sounds conclusive, but some build dates would be helpful here too. I know I am the odd man out with my 500. And I know the AMA called for the 436.

My car is one of the earlier cars built. Last time I checked it was the 6th T/A in the registry. It's a first week of June car.

I bought it from the 2nd owner who had it since '74.

Second owner gave me the receipt with the car for the starter service he had done which was having the solenoid replaced.

The starter is dated a few weeks before the build date.

So does anyone have a a car first week of June or earlier with a 436?
