1972 July car

[Jeff W.]

I was wondering what the date code meant on my clutch fan, F2272SC? Also the number on my power brake booster, 4240 on the front and 2 165 B 9092 on the top?
Thanks for the help.

F2272SC is F-May 22-2nd 72-1972 SC Schwitzer(sp) clutch

Mike, would that be June 22nd rather than May 22nd

Yes it would--ran out of fingers on one hand and got messed up in transposing to the second hand.

Thanks guys. Any clue on the power booster?

Jeff,
There was a post asking about power booster a couple of weeks ago. There is nothing on it in the TIM&JG because sometimes the stamps are not visible with the booster installed.

2 165 B 9092

My best guess/recollection is 9092 is either the model # or the last digits of the part number. 2 165 is the date code. 165th day of 1972. I hope that works for your car. I have no idea what the other numbers are.

Thanks Terry. My car is a July 11th car.

165 = June 13 for 1972, a leap year. I just got to my double secret Julian date decoder chart.

June 13 sounds pretty good for a July 11 build.
