I'm trying to date a Low Head and found the term "Fingerprint Head" being used. Does having the fingerprint boss on the head in anyway help date them. This head I'm looking at has the fingerprint boss on the back, it has Ford script and Made in the USA
Does that in anyway help date it.
Thanks,
Scott

From Bruce's C-D info:
Cylinder Head
7-22-11 Added spotting boss to rear end
4-16-12 Added “Made in U.S.A.”
6-10-12 Added bosses between combustion chamber and water jacket
for 1/8” pipe taps on left side of head.
11-26-12 Removed 1/8” pipe taps for priming. Bosses remain.
7-17-14. Added 3/32 to bottom of head, increases all top to bottom dimensions and lowers compression.
