Thx guys. I'll find the ones I need eventually(I'm pretty persistent)... I don't have a lot invested in them at this point anyway. Nearly talked myself into snagging those NOS stroker Goldens on Ebay a little while ago. But it's a slippery slope.... then needing a stroker crank.... have to stop somewhere! Getting a decent feel for the vintage of my less than complete sets will help me locate the others.
Both my matching (2) lighter colored rods have RC very clearly stamped on one side and L1 on the other(allen head bolts). Below the L1 it has two dots on either side on one rod and four dots on the other rod(sure seems like rods for the #2 and #4 pistons
). The set of 3(darker colored rods) have RC on one side and G1 on the other with the same dot marks under them(1,2,and 4). Perhaps the Ls and Gs specify the batches of rods that were produced to keep track of the mild variances between them. My Gs have the earlier 12 point RC ENG stamped bolts, G is before L alphabetically ...perhaps they started stamping with "A" and went up from there?
Perhaps your "T" rods were later batches than mine...
All the stamped markings on all my rods are very clearly stamped. They all have R and C stamped on one side, and all have a single matching letter(in my case an L or G)along with dots to mark which piston they belonged to. Sound the same for you?
