Learning how to read some codes on different stuff and I got an electrical motor with some Charger parts. I want to know what it all means and what I think it means??? It reads on the barrel. 3431437 7369 2146 I am thinking March 7th 1969 by the center #'s. Is that correct? What do the bottom #'s represent. Thanks in advance...

It's a headlight door motor for a '70 Charger. Built on the 73rd day of '69.

So this 4 digit code is not day month year...
I knew it was a headlamp door motor just didn't know if it was the "correct" dated one...
Thanks..
Are the numbers underneath are dealer vendor #'s?

Unless it's near NOS. It was probably originally installed on a '77 Dodge c-body or Chrysler & later removed from said car in a junkyard and may or may not have ever been installed on a Charger. Parts/numbers/dates/location/format varied regularly.
Part #3431437
vendor #73691 (this is a number CHRYSLER CORP. assigned to the motor's manufacturer) Jules - Do you know who it was?
Date code 2146 (214th day of 1976 - Sunday 8/1/76)

3431211
73691
2939 (393rd day of 1969 - Monday 10/20/69)
I couldn't find any reference to this part number. The '70-'71 Catalog I have is the Jan.'72 "final version" - I'd guess it was an early version and replaced during 1970 for either the 3431437 or 3431438 (what's the difference between the two 437/438 ?). I've had a number of the '70 Fury type, including a couple with a rubber "boot" over the working end of the motor, did they all have the "boot" 211/437/438 or is that one of the differences between Charger & Fury?
Are there 1969 dates for 3431437 & 3431438?

..... since this headlight motor didn't exist in '66 & was used thru the '70s on other hidden headlight Dodges (other Mopars?).
