Stan -

Yes - there was a local strike at St. Louis from October 4th through October 25th, 1966. None in 1965.

There was also a strike in '64 that affected the '65 production. Lost the entire month of October and into Novenber.

Since 1966 production ended Friday, July 29th, the October, 1966, strike would have impacted 1967 production, right?

Yup - the strike was in calendar year 1966, but it impacted 1967 production.

did they also have one in 68?

my 62 has a 68 crated engine and the owner who had got the engine said at the time there was a strike? Maybe he was off on the dates.
