I was finally able to trace/see the nomenclature on the bell housing of our '39 coupe. In the middle is a circle; inside the circle is the number "192" in the upper half, and a "0" in the lower half. To the left of the circle is a "1"; to the right of the circle is the letter "S". Can anyone decipher this code? PS: Note that the number "1" in the above designations could also be a letter "I". "The older I get, the better I was."

Those cast in numbers/letters on the top of the bell housing on early prewar blocks mean nothing to us today. Perhaps they meant something at the foundry or to someone at FoMoCo back in the day, but those records are probably long gone. Now on the post war blocks, in the 59 series, there is a known meaning to those numbers and letters. John

Casting numbers identifying the specific mold and possibly the date and shift and perhaps the plant that it was cast.
