L88 intake
Regarding L88 #198 intakes. I've seen L88 intakes that are casted 198 and some where the last casting digits were ground off and stamped 198. Does anyone know what dates were casted and which ones were stamped. Any pictures of the correct 198 stamping? Thanks in advance.

Re: L88 intake
The stamping of the last three digits on the 198 intake is noted on many original cars. This intake, along with another Winters intake of a different number (which escapes me now) were basically the same configuration and the part number only differed in the last three digits, so, when needed those last three digits were ground off and the 198 was then stamped in. To see this on original 1969 L88s is not uncommon and IS 'factory' correct and original.

Re: L88 intake
The 198s only have the last 2 numbers hand stamped. The other intake with this commomly done is the 093 intake. In this intake the 5069 is ground off and 6093 is stamped in its place. I have a 198 intake on Ebay now that has a hand stamped 98. Many of the early to mid 68 cast 198 intakes had the 98 hand stamped, but not all.

Thanks, Jason for the correction. I knew some digits were stamped. Obviously, I couldn't remember how many. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif
