[cbrown]

So, I posted in the for sale topic  that i have these solenoids in stock and ready.  It seams that if anyone replies, the moderator removes replies.  Must be an awesome feeling!!  lol.    So I have made this post  for input.  I have dates that Ed and i have used from original solenoids. If you have any input on dates  please let us know  if we need to make other dates.

I know you have been working on them for a long time. To add my testimonial, all of the other parts you have reproduced have had a attention to original detail that makes me and my fellow concours judges smile.Athough I haven't held or tested one the solenoids in the pictures look to be at the same advanced detail level your other parts are.

I have 9DB. Original from my SCJ Eliminator, build date 5/17/69 Dearborn.

Also need to know if c7af  or c9af  when date coded.  From my research  the c9af started early march 69.

What denotes if a car had the round vs the regular style solenoid? My 69 Dearborn, build date 1-9-69 Sports Roof with Auto and A/C had a regular one when I got it but I have no idea if it was originally.

Is it a GT350 or GT500 ?

How is the date code decoded and what would be tight on a 300 # gt 350

Vintage magazine photos show early production GT350's with regular solenoid. I can't imagine a reason why GT500's going down the same line getting different treatment. Besides that possible small beginning production phase I would expect to see the rest of GT500 with the round style.

How is the date code decoded .................

Believe it's

For the up right Found on the bottom
Year/Month/Week

Flat style Found on the mounting bracket ear
Supplier-Plant/ Year/Month/Week

For those that have seen the Decoding Date Code article the information in there will be updated when the newest versions is uploaded to the site.
