I read that as March 13th and the year ends in "7". Could be 1967 or 1977.

It's wierd, I thought that the date code on a starter always read as "year, month, day"

Example http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj121/70COPORSZ28/starter_11108367_8l14.jpg
68, 307 starter, Dec 14th

I also have another 430 with the date code "0A20" which I read as Jan 20, 1970

Here is a May 30, 1970 but it has a 2 following I guess I'm somewhat confused?????????

I cant get a photo of the other one but the code is as listed originally "C13 7" ???

Are there two variations to the dating???

I'm not sure of it's date,but it's not uncommon.
The seperate number 1 or 2 afterwards stands for shift.
Your two picture examples are actually L=November,(They skipped the letter I,cause it resembled a 1.)
And the F=June,not May.

Rich,

What do you think of the "C13 7" ???

I thought the 430 was a 70 through 72 part number???????

The year is either stamped there...veeeeeery lightly,or it was ommitted.
I've not seen a shift on these go as high as 7 though.
