Ink for radiator/heater box stamps

[WWheeler]

Just wondering if anybody had a recommendations for what type of ink to use when stamping the radiator/heater box and cooling fan? I have the stamps, just not sure what to use?

Thank you.

Give Mac a PM

Someone sent me a PM and said to use Acrylic Enamel. Makes sense.

Thanks and that was easy.

Don't know what they use at the factory. Did see some stamp's in classic industries. Believe they had the marker paint also. Might check that out.

Do you mean stamps like these? Looks more like an ink than acrylic. How did these get on my GTX?

Is that "Ford" stamp on a Mopar heater box? No, what I am looking at is the stamps for the part numbers. See attached.

John you shouldn't mess with these guys like that, even though that was good. LOL .

For real though. took the box apart to put a foam kit in it and found that. Asked Dave Wise about it. He said he had seen it once before but couldn't offer an explanation. Strike maybe? I know Carter made Quadrajets in '71

Never say never......

Strange, but like WWeeler said never say never.

Maybe the supplier for Ford's heater boxes was the same as Mopar at that time? And maybe one day a confused and hungover employee stamped the Mopar part with a Ford stamp?

Could be an employee with a stamp messing with people. Kind of like putting lunch wrappers and coke bottles behind door panels.

Ball bearing in frame rail's will drive a guy nut's also.
