The C9-B intake is a pretty common item. As the guys mentioned a 69 part. Cast iron either 2 or 4 bbl as it came both ways. The C9AE-8505-A is a 428 CJ waterpump and could be worth a few bucks to the resto numbers crowd. The heads you have given the date code.....there is a casting number like the other C9 #'s you posted. Could be C8, C6 etc...The 9A23 on the head is a 69/Jan/23rd date code. The 9BB is most likely a 9B8 not a B. 69/Feb/8th. Heads use a 6090 humber so look for Ex: C8AE-6090-H as an example. That will be located between the center two spark plugs. Dave is right on the stroke check. You can put on TDC and remove #1 and 4...that will give ya both TDC and BDC. Yank the head to measure the bore. You may or may not find a casting number on the block. The date code is below the oil filter adapter...same format as the heads date code....number/letter/number. 69 and later date codes have 2 dots under the first number. Block casting numbers were generic... and you'll find the same number on different bore blocks in some cases. So don't count on that to much.

It would be nice if this up and down crap would cease.
