M715 Finland

[M715Fin]

Engine number found. There was an old paper wrap wrapped at iron wire. In the paper, 000567, what does that mean? Is there something special when I disconnect distributor?

[jeepdan]

No idea on the number found on the paper tag.

Nothing special to remove the distributor/ignitor.
Although a few people here have found their distributors difficult to pull out of the aluminum timing cover, due to corrosion between dissimilar metals.

The engine serial number on yours is:
230 M3 011575
That is decoded as follows:

230-----Cubic inch
M-------Military
3-------Year, 1 is 1966, 2 is 67, 3 is 68, 4 is 69
01------Month, in your case January
15------Day, in your case the fifteenth day of January
75------Compression ratio, 7.5:1

Thanks for the information brute4c It is really nice to know what different things mean. Now I have engine almost ready for lifting frame. New seals on the engine, and how it is said... expanding blugs... Or something

[Don Cavey]

Is it what we call freeze plugs?

[M715Fin]

Feels good
The engine is now installed. Looks good ... Though I say it myself

[Von]
