How do you date the flathead?? Ask her if she wants to go for a drive."

Are you talking about just an engine? Are the water pumps in the head or on the block? How many head studs does it have.? The numbers on the head are only part numbers. 18 indicates 32 as the date they were first used, but fit many engines. A picture would help as well.
