A couple years back there was a discussion about the top boss of a Muncie main case, and everyone was of the same belief, 1964 and older rounded, 1965 and newer square...

I thought I had seen 1965 cases with the round top boss...

So I went thru 75+ 325 cast Muncie main cases, and sure enough early 1965 model year Muncie main cases have the rounded top boss...

The change over came (from my observation) 2nd week of December 1964 calender year rounded , 3rd week of December 1964 calender year square...

I'm traveling right now so I don't have the exact dates with me...

Hope this helps... Crash
