Re: 1964 Horns

Pat,
The date code is across the edge of the horn from the part number. So it would be on the corner of the horn in the bottom right of your photo.

The date code will be stamped like the 3 digits following the cast numbers 9000

Pretty hard to see on the backside when mounted.

Sorry,


I misunderstood your note. I get it now. I will look at the other flat on the horn across from the part number. Will probably have to take off the horn to check that. I am pretty sure these are original to the car however.

Re: 1964 Horns

Here is an original one, Mar64. There are some other printing & numbers which can also help to confirm

Re: 1964 Horns

Alan, how did you derive March 64 from a date code of 3M4?

Re: 1964 Horns

I am now going out to the workshop to look again at mine. My car has a Jan 25 1964 build date so I guess I am looking for a December 63 build date.

That is what Alan has posted a picture of.

3M4 represents 4th week of December 1963.

The format is YMW or year, month and week of the month. 3M4 decodes as 3= 1963, M= December, as this is a Delco Remy part (Delco Remy usually didn't use the letter I for September so M=December) 4= the 4th week.

Re: 1964 Horns

Yes, the chassis judges will look for horn dates.

Re: 1964 Horns

I finally got the date code off the drivers and passenger side side horns. I think they work. 3H3 drivers side and 3M4 passenger side. See below.

Should I put a light coat of paint over the date codes now?

Re: 1964 Horns

Patrick,

Yes, just give the a dusting of paint so to not fill up the embossed date code. Here are the date codes for my January 18th built '64 convertible, VIN 0925X. These were what the judges recorded during flight judging at the 2014 NCRS Nat'l. Convention.

Regards,

James
