I read what it said on the website, but blowing it up, that first stamp looks like 72 YB.

The block shows 132 on the side - SD block.
(plus round port heads)



Now the last engine I thought might be some other code than ZN.

Does that cardboard slip (or envelope) stuffed behind the SD flywheel say "SPECIAL" ?

In 1972 at the Framingham GM B-O-P plant, all supervisors wore white shirts and ties.

All of them.

Just to add to that, they were company provided shirts, usually with a small logo (Chevy bowtie, in my case) on the pocket.

As the corporation became more liberal, the shirts became available in stylish period correct pastels, like blue, green, yellow and pink. I used to wear Dad's old shirts to high school, until I became a production supervisor and was able to order my own.

This one's for Keith! Not sure if you've seen this before, but here's a 1 minute video with what I believe may the last Cadillac ragtop produced back in 1976. Thought it may bring back some assembly line memories (or nightmares, not sure which!)
