    I can’t find the rear end number, but I cannot squirm under the car. The build states 2nd week of sept 1970 which is just when they went on strike. Does any one have a photo of the rear end/ carb location. I just don’t know where to look. Thanks!

    The distributor has a 1112027, so I’ll assume it has been changed out.

    It has. Should be 1112016 OF13 - Not a cheap part but not super hard to find that date code.

    So that is correct. I’ll keep searching for the rear end, so it looks pretty good except For the distributor, I guess I’ll take that. Thanks Gents!

    The stamping on the rear axle tube on my 71 Stage 1 is on the passenger side. Get a light under there with you and depending on the underside, you may need a rag with some degreaser.

    Unfortunately a degreaser won’t cut it. The painted it and I cannot locate the number.

    I got under there and scrubbed it well and still cant see it, I will have to wait until I get it on a rack. So I am guessing that it is 60%+ correct. I can see the Distributor swap, but not the rear end. I need the number or rip the car apart for the build sheet. Also pray that the were the honorable workers who really did not want to strike didn't screw around. Thanks All, Chris

    That’s a different car. Look closely at some of the engine shots and the mileage. It looks like they were optioned similar, but one has disc brakes and one has drum brakes. Also, there’s 2000 less miles on it now.

    Good catch. I noted the foams (thought likely to be changed given condition in 2019) and the brake booster. Looks like the coolant overflow is different also, Did not notice the brakes at all.
