Is this a little early for a 02D car
VO0111DZ
Casting Date L 18 8

Something weird going on here, unless he made a mistake on the casting number.
This car should have a "3956618" block casting number.
GM never even made the "010" block until mid April/69. The casting date makes no sense unless it is L-11-78, which means it is a restamp.
The stamp date seems a little too early also, i have a car that is in my data base that is 530 cars earlier and the stamp is V0125DZ, casting date A-17-9.
His ad shows 1 month between the casting and stamp date, i suppose that it could happen, but usually they are closer than that.
Would like to see a picture of the pad.
Just my .25 worth

rszmjt That's my car in your data base and its a
618 block

Hi Tony,
Forgot to add the 618 casting number in my post.
This is kinda cool,-I have another car that is 100 cars before yours and the stamp is VO126DZ. Casting date is A-18-9 also a "618" block.
Would you mind posting some of your other dates, heads, alt, starter etc?
Thanks.

[Tonyx33]

Don't mind at all heads A29 & A49 don't have
the alt. or starter wish I did.Intake was like
dec 22 or 23 can't really remember.Still have
the shocks too they are rears 23 69 & 25 69
only 1 front it's 36 69 the other one had been replaced.Rearend casting B 7 9 BU 02 21 G1
Hope this helps. Let me know if you need
anything else.Transmission has been replaced with one from a 69 passenger car it's a M-20

My 02C car has a casting date of B59. V0211DZ
I would say you are correct, it's too early.

For some reason it seems all 02D cars have most things late. Mine has a March rear axle and a March VIN (by the tables that is). Most other people talking about 02D's here say the same thing.

My Norwood 02D Z/28 has B-19-9 heads, A27 intake, B-14/B-18 exhaust manifolds, 9B11 distributor, 9B19 alternator, 036 wiper motor, B17 tranny, 0219 axle, 45 master cylinder, 55 brake booster, 016 prop valve, 34 steering gear, 041 steering column, "A" radiator, and was shipped on 2/28/69.

Johnz were is the date code on the steering
box?

[z28doug]

Tony,
I'm not John Z but as I remember just pop the hood and look down at the steering box. There will be a Julian date code on the top of the box between two screw head looking things in the casting. Mine has a 346 Julian date. My master cylinder is dated 347. My booster is 356.......
It's a Van Nuys car.
