I just picked up a C4AW-B non "N" nodular case with the date 8K15. That one isn't a problem, the problem is the C5AW-4668-C pinion retainer that came with it. The date code I see is either I19 or 119 it's hard to tell.
The guy I got it from said it was from a '69 Boss 429. I suppose it could be with that date code on the case but the pinion retainer is a mystery to me...

in Fords date coding, but that sure looks like one to me. First time I`ve seen that on any part, Maybe Hawk can clear it up.

That date code is interesting. I didn't think Ford used "I" at all in the date coding due to the confusion with using the "I" and the "1" together. Hopefully Hawkrod will chime in.

C5AW-4668-C but the first two digits are different. The middle is definitely a "1" but the first digit is different. I've never seen Ford use an "I" in date codes either.
The date code on the case is also very clear. No "SPEC" anywhere.

I have seen this on a couple Daytona pinion supports before.

and i supposed to read that as September 1, 1969?

Would be able to clear this up. Oh well, it was cheap enough that it can live under the bench for a while.
