That number doesn't mean anything in terms of what year your engine was assembled, the oil filter date stamp will give you a general time frame though, but once again, it'll only be around a 2yr window, give or take, no specifics.

6L15 = engine block cast November (L) 15, 1966 (6) / A = January, M = December. The letter I is omitted.
C6ME ~ C = decade 1960's, 6 = 1966 / But, again, this is a foundry mark only.
There is no way to know which exact 1967 Ford/Mercury vehicle the completed FE engine was installed in.
Pick one: Galaxie/LTD/Mercury Monterey/Montclair/Parklane / Fairlane/Comet / Mustang/Cougar / F100/350.
Suggest you measure the stroke to pin down (somewhat) which FE engine this is: 352 = 3.50" / 390 = 3.78" / 410/428 = 3.98"
