Re: 66 master cyl julian date

'65-'66 non-power m/cylinders were sourced from Bendix; not a Delco product. Probably no reliable way to predict an answer to your question in Post #1. Several Ford Motor Co cars over several model years used the same 2225032 casting.

The Julian date is found under the bail clip, cast-in numbers (not stamped like typical Delco). It does not contain a 'year' identifier. I have a nice photo showing an NOS part with Julian '341', or 7 Dec for regular year -- however, unable to get the site's 'manage attachments' function to work to post same; sorry. Anyway, dealer's choice to assign what calendar year the '341' represent.
