Newby Aussie to CMP's

[Phil Waterman]

Hi Bruce

Glad to here another CMP is being brought back to life. Chevrolets are amazingly tolerant of not having a working vacuum pot these distributors also have a mechanical advance.

Which pattern and size truck are you working on?

Cheers Phil

good question re the pattern/type; I have a few serial number plaques below that you may be able to enlighten me just what I have.
Dash plaque:
Model W038
Serial 2844200235S
engine R3784527
(engine block shows PR3782427)

Engine bay firewall:
HOLDENS
Body No 5427K
W1 FRTEND (I think)
Series 4410194

does any of this add up?

second attempt at the photo
I have removed the tray which was about two meters longer than the chassis, clearly not the original. Havn't tried to turn the motor yet, I will pull all a the ancillary bits off first ie Distributer, carby, starter, water pump etc.
