First digit
C = 1960's
D = 1970's
E = 1980's
Second digit year within decade

Thus for first and second digit
C2 = 1962
D2 = 1972 (yours)
E3 = 1983

Fred,

A couple of books worth getting if you want to know about part numbers and more generally, they explain the above and much more:
How to rebuild Small-Block Ford engines by Tom Monroe
How to build max performance Ford V-8s on a budget by George Reid. You can get from Amazon.
