When it comes to marking the rear carrier housing all alpha or alpha numeric characters I have seen look stamped. Does anyone make a large character (7/8) stamp with a good font that is adjustable that would work for this application?

If you want it exact take a pic,clean it up with a photoshop if needed... Then take the pic to a stamp/stencil shop and they'll make a stamp of the pic you've submitted... I do this and it's relatively cheap...

Clean the housing and use tracing paper. Then transfer to heavier paper, cut out and spray! Thats' what I did with my transmission.

Feb 16th assy date of the rear axle assy. My SPD is 2/26. The stamp was probably adustable and would have to have 4 digits to cover all month and day variations. The 'X' may simply be a place holder or could have significance beyond that.

Updating the list.

Housing, "9-14U". Pig, "9-14".
Housing, "5-12Z". Pig, ?
Housing, "2-16X". Pig, ? SPD 2/26.
Housing, "...1L". Pig, "10-23". Hamtramck. SPD 11/8/68.
Housing, "101G". Pig, ?
Housing, "J128". Pig, ?
Housing, "19U". Pig, ?

I think there is a correlation between the housing date and the pig date. Maybe same date or close.

Most stencils have more paint at the edges of the characters than the middle. Wonder what causes that?

Based on the appearance of these stamps it appears they were some sort of soft stamp material, likely rubber, not "stencils". Rubber stamps "squish" when you press them, often pushing the paint to the outsides and leaving the center thin or nearly void of paint, It all depends on the pressure applied when adding them. MOST stampings that are added back by restorers are too perfect because of the extra effort making them nice.

Housing, "19U". Pig, ? should be 190, I had went over it with paint pen to get a size picture of it, pig was a 67 and no markings

I finshed an 8.3/4 for a 1969 Charger this spring and the dates were nearly a week apart.

I had a stamp made at rubberstampchamp.com to redo them
