1969 Motor Castings

I am replacing a 1969 Chevy 250 inline 6 cylinder and do not know where to find the casting numbers. Advance Auto tells me that I have a



1973 engine because it is a three bolt starter but I just replaced the starter and the book called for a 3 bolt starter and not a 2 bolt for this model c10 truck. These seem to be critical to the engine I buy. Can anyone fill me in on where to find the engine casting number? Thanks

There is some info in this article. It oly goes to 1962, but the castings numbers may be in the same location. Behind the distributor, passenger side.
