Your original dist would have been a P or S, and the replacement for these was 
an AK. These were used on all 68-9 dual carb ATs. I don't know why there are 2 
numbers listed here

I suspect that the X means a rebuilt engine. If the X looks like it was just 
added to the tail end of another block, then this block is from 63. I think 
that's unlikely, however. There was probably a separate numbering system for 
factory rebuilds.
