machined pad stamp vs re-stamp, 69 Z28
« on: October 13, 2009, 12:43:42 AM »
How can I tell if the numbers on the milled motor pad is an original or a re-stamp?

If the motor pad had been milled, I would believe it to be a restamp.  Post a picture and let the experts look at it.

Original pad would have broach marks (straight lines). They are much different from milling marks (round lines).
