A long time ago in a far away galaxy...( oops! Wrong story!)Ok yes a long
time ago I was deeply involved in the early days of what became the 55-57 Chevy
craze. Where this is going is I'm having difficulty decoding and
understanding casting dates or codes and some contrary casting number
aplication references in order to understand some of what I've required over
the years.  In the general motors world every casting not only had a raised
part number but also a casting date. You knew you had a February 1955 intake
manifold by the part number and the casting date. Yesterday I found a 12G295
bare ( kinda rusty too!) Cylinder head in some forgotten stuff.One site states
it's a 1100 MG head , another states it is a 998 Cooper head AND yet another
states its a good 948 head without refrence to its original intended
application be it a specific displacement motor OR a spread of ( start to end
of use?) Application years . ALSO I'm finding references to "home market" & "
export market".  So it starts with a "12G" does that denote 1275 original
application? Is it indeed a 1098/1100 head ( I may need a 1098 head?) ?Im a
lot behind in the decoding of these items. I simply used what I had years
ago..Thank you!!ChuckSent from my LG Mobile
