I am looking for what the general consensus is on when in 65 production the starter solenoid bracket changed from being stamped with the FOMOCO in the oval to the FOMOCO in the rectangle.

Here is an example of the marking difference Bob is asking about. Currently going through my collection or pictures to see what I can offer for the San Jose built cars. Just wanted to show the examples to help others at this point.

The same change occurred on the oil breather caps. Given corporate identity philosophy, some sort of bulletin would have been issued to vendors requiring the change. Finding that bulletin would help narrow down the time frame. Factor in making the change, shipping, stocking, phasing into production while using up existing inventory of the older version.
