Sounds about right, what's your date code near the clock?

Sorry I cant tell you that one Sandaro. Im going by some old rego papers I found in a ute I have just bought and wondering if it was the correct engine. The good news is that it has been changed by the guy I just bought it off in the last few years so I will call him tomorrow to see what he did with it! Thanks for your help.

Yes, around January '75, possibly Feb-Mar if the engine was at the back of the storage or got dropped or damaged in some way.
