Marty, the block date is stamped on the block behind the carb & just under the breather hole & valve cover.
Mine is 041976 - which I am pretty sure indicates April 19, 1976. Ignore the pretty 6 digit embossed number nearby.. I think it is some kind of casting number & is the same on lots of blocks.
Here is a dim picture where you can see the casting date just above the flame arrestor.
