I'd like the date code from the rear by the distributor and the numbers above the YD .

Funny how the easier numbers to get at were the hardest to get good pics of. How many numbers are supposed to be above the stamp? I can only make out 2(?) 18805.
I THINK the date cast is “168” ?
The ones on the back of the block are a beast to get. I can’t see them. I just stick my phone in there and shine my flashlight till I get something readable.
