yes , looks like 079 to me also , i'm far from a expert , but I think that means  week 7 1969  ,  February  1969

    Well, my build date for the car is March 18  1969, is it possable this is original to the car?  Cant be.

In your picture from your 69 why is the ballast resistor by passed ?

     I put the firecore distributor in, its temporary. Not the bi-pass, but until I can do it right.

The date code on parts would be earlier than the build date of the car.  They didn't make these parts one at a time when a car needed it.  The parts were made in batches, often by outside companies, and would be ready to get bolted onto cars rolling down the line.  If 079 is indeed a date code then it would make sense to be made before the actual car.

I would say  , there is a good chance that voltage regulator  with a date code of week 7 69 , is  original to the car .
  having said this  , i'm far from a expert , I've not paid enough attention to the ,  original assembly line fitted voltage regulators ive seen,  compared to over the counter parts department regulators ,  to be 100% sure .   sometimes  assembly line parts can differ slightly  compared to , dealer replacement parts , (ie maybe the writing or color of  writing ) I mentioned different suppliers before )  .....
