The best way to ID the year is by the partial VIN on the block.
The pic of the date code is hard to tell for sure if the last digit is a '5' or '6', but I think it is a '6' (1976)
I have seen some blocks with the 2 digit cast year for the next year of production. (would have to check notes if any in 1976 though)
