SPD vs Build Date

[The Rebel]

Been working on putting together a list of the parts & build dates to see the actual timeline of my car and thought I'd share what I have so far.

Green = Confirmed

Red = Need help to confirm the codes = the date I have

Blue = SPD

Orange = Still need to find codes

 

[The Rebel]

Need help on these codes:

Master Cylinder

Power Steering High Pressure Hose - Part # 2537 981

Transmission

Hard to tell for sure but that doesn’t look like an OEM master cylinder. Never saw that style of date code on a Bendix, and that divit in the nose of the casting is common in a lot of aftermarket manufacturers but not how Bendix fixtured castings for machining.

That master and the bracket below it are not correct. What are you trying to prove? Is this a one off car?

 

[The Rebel]

Yeah, l know that's what a previous owner had put on after they switched the front breaks from drums to rotors.

Not trying to prove anything, just trying to get some answers to the parts l'm unsure of what the date code means.

I find it very odd that seat pieces could possibly be a whole year apart. On the front trans pump date code.... i really wonder if that tag in the casting isnt more about the date of the casting mold, than the actual front pump housing itself???? I dont know, so i didnt post earlier.
It would be awesome if there was a comprehensive database to answer some of your questions.....but i've never seen such a animal.

Best of luck, Lefty71
