So, I posted in the for sale topic that i have these solenoids in stock and ready. It seams that if anyone replies, the moderator removes replies. Must be an awesome feeling!! lol. So I have made this post for input. I have dates that Ed and i have used from original solenoids. If you have any input on dates please let us know if we need to make other dates.

I know you have been working on them for a long time. To add my testimonial, all of the other parts you have reproduced have had a attention to original detail that makes me and my fellow concours judges smile.Athough I haven't held or tested one the solenoids in the pictures look to be at the same advanced detail level your other parts are.
I have 9DB. Original from my SCJ Eliminator, build date 5/17/69 Dearborn.
Also need to know if c7af or c9af when date coded. From my research the c9af started early march 69.
What denotes if a car had the round vs the regular style solenoid? My 69 Dearborn, build date 1-9-69 Sports Roof with Auto and A/C had a regular one when I got it but I have no idea if it was originally.

Is it a GT350 or GT500 ?
How is the date code decoded and what would be tight on a 300 # gt 350
Vintage magazine photos show early production GT350's with regular solenoid. I can't imagine a reason why GT500's going down the same line getting different treatment. Besides that possible small beginning production phase I would expect to see the rest of GT500 with the round style.
