I could be wrong but judging by the mazda emlem it's the newer style, i think those are 84-85 gls-se housings, but again i could be wrong just a guess...

Without seeing the exhaust ports, it's still a little hard to determine. However, I'd say it's a '76-'78. Please show us the exhaust ports.



Do you have info on the side plates? Is there an R5 or 3B cast into the front and rear plates?



by the way, GSL-SE housings look quite different.

Heh and the one on the right is a '71-'73 12A.



Edit: wait a minute, there are no little holes to hold the small sheet metal thing indicating whether it's 1 or 2 (front or rear). Hmm, both of mine have the holes. One is missing its little indicator thing though.

Its not a housing indicator, its what you use to hoist your engine out with.
