Thanks Mike, the plate behind the distributor is JBA 413562, so it's a 1951 216.

I was really hoping the 261 meant it was a 261 instead of a 216. lol

B 26 1 is the date code (Feb 26 1941 or 1951) would need to see the actual engine casting number to determine the correct year.

Look further forward on the block for the 7-digit casting number.
