21 stud intake 10/29/31 date on bottom

[Vanspeed]

Hi guys, have an aluminum intake that came from a 21 stud. We are not sure what year because the engine is long gone but the intake has a 10/29/31 date on the bottom. Is this an actual date or is it just a random number. It is raised.

Does it have a round hole in the front for a generator and a single barrel carb? If so, it is a 32.

 

[Vanspeed]

No single barrel carb. It has holes like a Stromberg 97.

Usually the number on the bottom, is a date code but if it is a 2 barrel carb it may be good for you to post a couple of photos. I suspect the code is incorrectly embossed could it be 10/29/34??

Definitely not '31'; likely an incomplete number such as '34' as Terry suggests.

Or maybe an incomplete 7. Pictures will help pin it down.

Always if possible post a picture otherwise its a throw of the dice.

I will post some pics tomorrow

Turns out the 31 is 35. Thanks guys for your help.

There were several different intake manifolds used in '35. It would still be interesting to see some pics of the one you have.

Just as a reference, here's the date code on a '35 intake that I got from JM_35_Sedan.
