Slightly below and between the 2 expansion plugs just behind the fuel pump on the diesel dexta engine is cast a letter followed by 3 or 4 numbers that may be a date code. (E32 = May3,1962)
After some years of hunting and with the help of members from this board we have come up with 12 letters that may represent the months of the year.

January (A)
February (B)
March (C)
April (D)
May (E)
June (G)
July (H)
August (J)
September (K)
October (L)
November (N)
December (T)

Thanks to everyone for all the help in collecting the letters.

Les

that would fit with my engine as well.
engine number: 1454565H
"casting code": C 7 0
Im told the serial number is may 1960

Good work les , this also would work in with my engine date , engine super 1631258 code H-11-3 ie june 63,
although may mean the engine may have been changed at some time as the serial no 09D926230 IS LATE 64 or mybe they just put a 63 engine on to a 64 backend, eitherway , Nice work GERRY

Nice work, Les. I'll have to look at mine, as soon as I have some time.

Hi Brian,
Can we make this a sticky as it's too good to bury.
The more folk that use it the better
TIA
