Which pinion snubber bracket is it?  The 65 or the 66 . They are different.

If you are not sure how to tell then a picture front facing of the shield will show the difference.

Looks like a 65 and carryover.  I believe the 66 had a the big drain plug.

The center section is from a 67 and the snubber bracket is from a 66.

Agreed. Also, the cover on the back of the center section looks dome shaped - indicating a 1965 housing. The 66 is more of a half dome. Although I don't know if there might be some overlap between the years on that feature.

Bob, Thanks for the education.  I knew it wasn't a 66 but how did you know it was for a 67?  Always learning :-)

No special expertise just simply read the OP's post where he stated it had a 7B23 dated center section. That decodes as Feb 23 1967.

Thanks Bob, I knew the center section was, I thought there was a difference in the axle housing with 66 being the large drain plug and hump and the 65's rounded back with small drain plug.  I thought you were pointing out that the housing was a 67 and wondering what the difference was.

Nope , I said center section and meant center section just like the OP. I was explaining the combination of parts.
