Engine number stamped on block?!

[Tom Walker]

Trying to get to the bottom of persistant mis-fire, I decided to take carb apart, and found 41 main jets! Put 51's in out of parts carb I had lying around, and the car is completely transformed. Goes so well now it makes the brakes a tad marginal....!

So what I took to be an electrical problem seems to mainly be weak fuel mixture. In an attempt to be more scientific, I wanted to mount a vac gauge and air/fuel meter. As there are no ports on the intake, I pulled it off to drill a hole for my vac gauge rubber tube...

There on the block, rear drivers side, is this stamped number, which is the same as the chassis plate on the fire-wall. Large "18" preceeding frame number.

This is a car sold new in Denmark, so seems to have its ID numbers in very unusual places, presumably different national law? Very excited to get matching numbers.

cheers, Tom.

Tom, you may know this already but Van Pelt Sales has a good article on serial numbers on their website. http://www.vanpeltsales.com/FH_web/f...ialnumbers.htm

Tom, that's right, I have a pilot motor with the number stamped in that area. Some markets required it.
