I have a Carter W-1 sitting on what I believe to be the original 216. Seems like the W-1 stopped being made in 48. wondering if PO dropped something on or put it on to make it look complete (I have some suspicions that the W-1 was outside and open to weather. rest of the engine had not been) Thanks for any help!

Post the Engine Serial Number to confirm year and application of the engine. http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/chevyresto/52057.html Tim 1954Advance-Design.com 1954 3106 Carryall Suburban 1954 3104 5-window pickup w/Hydra-Matic The 216 and early 235 engines are not "splash oilers" -- this is a splash oiler.
