Look on the starter side of the block(probably will have to pull the starter) and you will find the correct casting numbers. Then go Here and it will tell you what year 302 you have.

The 289 was stopped being produced in 1968. (I have one of the last ones in my Mustang)

302 = 302
C stands for plant built at code = Cleveland Ohio
72 stands for model year = 72
13 stands for change level = 12 changes to that engine

2 = year of production = 72
A = Month = January
K293 = Ford's engine code number
