Engine Dating

[Mike Farmer]

 

Greetings.

I have an engine No A65L 12516? final digit looks like it could be 7  X  or Y I need the build year so that I can get the correct parts for rebuild. Were re-imported engines given an extra digit???

Cheers Mike

As far as I can make out A65L prefix was 1966.
