Interesting about the PVC pipe fittings Euan . Good pick up , I mist that detail when I checked that carrier out a couple of years ago



Just checked my motor today it's numbered at the front casting C59A what does this mean ?? eg year , horse power, etc . any info would be great . Dale

Photo of the left hand light conduit Thanks for the info and photos Darrin and Euan



Couldn't resist spraying on the hull number on the rear end after work today . I used Mike's book on carriers for reference made them 3 1/2 inches high and copied Euan's font as of the E mail he sent me

I need a photo of a where the conduit over pass, under pass, hooks up near the terminal box Peter's photo is good , but with the rusted parts and bits missing it's hard to know how it all hooks up . Dale

Hi Dale,

C59A blocks are 1946 to 1948 Mercury engine blocks according to Tex Smith's "The Complete Ford Flathead V8 Manual"

These engines were rated at 100 HP at 3800 RPM with a 239 CID and a compression ratio of 6.8:1 which is slightly higher than the earlier Ford V8 engines hence the 100 HP rating.

As a matter of interest, my engine is a C69A block which makes it a 1946 Ford engine but with virtually the same specs.

Hope this is of some help.

Cheers,

To add to this (I hope): I used this site - http://www.vanpeltsales.com/FH_web/f...85to100mid.htm - when I was trying to ID the "F59A" Flathead in the attached picture.
