On the Daytona reared, do you know what that "4" was for?

That's a good question - I have seen all kinds of different numbers, symbols, nothing, etc. there. Probably some kind of inspection mark.

Great info FJ5 Fish! You've really got me thinking now. I studied that think for close to an hour and I kept coming up with R, but the F would definitely make more sense. Here is another picture.

Hey - It could be an R meant to be an F but done either wrong or very sloppily. You put back what you found which is the best thing you can do for the car in question. Heck - Maybe it was a Bird thing - I'll check mine and a couple others more closely.

Some great examples of why each and every car is it's own "blueprint" in terms of correctness, you can see by just what's been posted here that no two are alike, this is why any sort of "database" of factory markings would fall short of providing correct details for restoring any car but the one they were taken from.

I agree with you that there are very rarely two cars marked up the same way. But if there were some sort of "database" or website on various markings that are found on a car... I would like to see something that translates the markings. On the cars I have done, that is always the first question I get. "What does _____ mean?" Some I know, but most of them I don't.

What do you use to make the factory markings? Are there paint sticks and stencils available or do you use a paint brush?

You would need stamps for the date codes and axle part numbers

My 69 survivor Swinger 340 - 3.23 auto. This before I really cleaned it up. The yellow 565 and 566 are the axle codes...this one was stamped for sure-grip and non sure-grip! The white stamping on the right of the pic is the date code....these can be found anywhere along that side but usually around the U-bolts.
