T1018CTB

T= Tonawanda, manufacturer of the engine
10= October, month of manufacture
18= October 18, day of manufacture
CTB= 402 or 396 used in 1972 cars, (Chevelles, Full size, and Camaro)

The cast date code will confirm my assumption or disprove it.

Jim

yes your correct.... fat fingers got the "6" in there....

thanks guys...
