69 340 k member? Help

Maybe someone can help me out. I bought a v8 k member awhile back and it has a washer welded on the front surface of the k member. I know they used that in 70, my road runner k member had it on it.
When did they start that?

Has the 67-69 style anti sway bar mount holes drilled in it.
