My 1913 Touring has the following serial number 304972. Would like to verify the block/engine year. I looked at one of the parts supply house list and could not make out what they referencing for numbers. Thank you guys
 
304972 was assigned to a car built in mid July 1913, the very last month for the 1913 model year. Your block should have a date cast into its side just to the rear of that serial number. The date will be the day the block was cast, typically a few days prior to the number being stamped.
 
In this example the serial number is 289343. The date is 6 3 13 = June 3, 1913.

Royce,
Want to thank you for the info and tried to reply earlier - not sure what happened. My cast date is 62313 - June 23, 1913
Thanks Big Time
 
OK your block sat around for a few days before it was installed in a car. It would have been installed in a very late 1913 model year car.
