I'm completely new to this game and will have a lot of questions. The first one is what engine do I have? I have read the tech tip on 39-40 Chevrolet specs but my numbers don't remotely resemble anything mentioned in that article. The stamped number behind the distributer is AECA2I5392 and the cast number under the GM letters is 839770. Thanks in advance for your help. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | Welcome to the Stovebolt, John. Congrats on your 40 pickup. It'll bring pain and pleasure but we're here to help you though both!!

I would also like to know when the AECA was used. Let's hope that someone clears this up.
