Need help decoding casting#
Does anybody have an idea for decoding these #, I want to know what they EXACTELY mean . Not only how to decode Ford parts and date. 
Under the valve covers: 289 WF 6K7
On the bloc, starter side: 16
On the bloc, water pump side: 7A4R
Intake manifold: C6OE6-9425-B 6J14
(I know that 6K7 i.e. is the manufacturing date)
Thanking you

Part of this is obvious - 289 CID engine, WF is the forging plant ID, 6K7 the date code.
On the bloc, starter side: 16
Possible the mold ID numberor an inspector's ID.

Unknown.
Intake manifold: C6OE6-9425-B 6J14
One too many '6's' - C6OE-9425-B = 289 4V intake use on late 65 to 67 engines, including 289 HP, cast on Sept 14, 1966 making it a 1967 engine.
