I've gotten 2 different takes on the meaning of the numbers/letter code stamped on the boss to the right of the distributor by the head. One fellow tried to convince me he had a K block because there was a K in there. Who knows for sure what these indicate?

That's probably the engine assembly date. It's in the format of year number, month letter, day number and assembler/quality inspectors letter (5K21Z). Being that "K" is the letter for October, the engine is subject to the whim of the "Great Pumpkin", ala Charlie Brown.
