Brand new to Stovebolt with a question for the group regarding the somewhat confusing decoding of block and casting numbers:
Our family '39 has been in storage for several years. We recently pulled it out for a slow step-by-step "get it running" then resto to as near to original as possible. We're pretty certain that the block & head are not original - but after running the numbers on various websites, we're still stuck on the actual date of manufacture.
Here's the block codes: CON4 G60 3693374
Some sites say '42 - '49 year of manufacture as far as the casting number goes, but we can't find a G=July 6= 6th, 0=(YR 1950?) block number that correlates with 3693374 on this 235.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks, Vic's (Victoria's) grand dad
