How to Tell the Date on a GT Intake

Dating automotive components is an important part of any repair or modification. Minor changes in manufacturing standards over the years can make components from certain eras more or less desirable for specific uses. Fortunately, most major components in Ford engines are stamped with a four-digit date code. Dating a GT intake manifold is as easy as reading and deciphering that code.

Instructions

1

Locate the four-digit damp state on the intake. This is generally on the top of the manifold, to one side of the carburetor passages.

2

Compare the first digit to the date column of a Ford date code sheet. This letter will correspond to a production year.

3

Compare the second digit to the month field of a Ford date code sheet. This will correspond to a month. This digit varies by production year, so it is important to determine the year first.
