I have the option to buy this PowerSteering
Any one that can tell me the year?

I can see the numbers:
7814789
12979

5689010
SPA-AU

That should be a 76-77 4 turn box.

Thank you
I am interested in how you can tell that?

The SPA-AU code is for those boxes. Learned that from Viperwolf on here.

I have been through more of these boxes than I can count. This one is interesting because someone screwed up when they set the date code on the mould. The 12979 number is the date code of when the mould was poured for the case. 129 is the day of year and the rest is the last 2 digits of the year. They weren't still making these in 1979. I think that last 9 was supposed to be a 6. It was just placed in the mould upside down.

Yes, SPA-AU is '76-'77 and the ring around the input shaft also confirms it.
