Ford part numbers, (for those that don't know)
Very basically Ford uses a 4 digit number to identify a basic part.
The inlet manifold for a 4 cylinder tractor made in England, or for a flathead v8 made in Canada is 6520. The thing that differentiates them is the prefix and then the suffix. Example is a Cover, C11A-6520-C (my examples:2,3,7)
There is a system to this: C=made in Canada. 1= 194(1) design. (If you want more check it out)
Anyhow Back to Carriers.
I have been checking out the various engine models in carriers and...........It's complicated.
There are 3 basic engine types (as per origin) American, British, and Canadian (in alphabetical order)
With the British built carriers they used pure British engines, American engines, and combinations of components. Of the British built engines ( 79E 6004) they came with the following suffixes:CS,DS, FS,GS, and HS.
These denote different combinations and applications, the last 2 reworked for Loyd carriers.

Anyhow:
The 1941 Canadian carrier parts list shows a Cover, C11A 6520-B cast iron. I dont know what they look like.These must be fairly common still, in carriers. Do they break?
THe March 1945 British Chilwell (Carrier parts list)63/76 lists a:
Cover C11A-6520-C I have 3 of these (2,3,and 7) They have 2 big ribs running to the front flange. Do these break?
As it happens I have the C29SR manifold that I previously mentioned. It is from a Lynx and is a very robust looking manifold. Was made to support a massive (lets do some arc welding) 90 amp generator. It has the ability to have suplimentary support brackets as was the case with the big generator. This would (hopefully) limit the failures to all the components forward of the manifold (cover)
Can anyone come up with a part number for my two other cast iron manifolds (1, and 5)
I have put up pictures of the big generator from the
Lynx along with a std. Canadian generator/ fan extension to show the comparison along with one of the un identified manifold and the C29SR.
Thank you and stay safe.
