I purchased this core to build for my ‘73 vert. The seller said it was out of his ‘69. My eyes are not the greatest anymore, but not that bad. I just can’t make out the first or last digits. Can anyone else make it out? Looks like 2K16 to me. Definitely can see the K and 1, but that’s it. Don’t think it is a 69 casting though.
FMX date code can you read it?

Important part is if it has the correct shift shaft on it.
The kickdown and shift select lever are identical to my current one, that was the number one reason I purchased it. Torque converter input shaft is also correct diameter.

Looks like 0K16 to me.
Ford *sometimes* added two small dots under 0's in date codes so they weren't mistaken for O's. I can't find a better picture but this is 0 (with the dots underneath) G8:

Slightly better picture of the above block:
And another, this one is 0F27

I could definitely believe that the first digit is a "0" if it has those two dots below it. I thought that it looked really funny, and thought it was just some bad casting. So, if that is the case, then this can't be out of a 69 as I was told by the seller. It would have been a production date of "K" November / 1something / 1970?

I would have thought 2K16 as well. I would find the VIN on the transmission. The first number will tell you the year.
