As I slowly tear into my 1946 Champion, documenting and taking pictures, I have come across the following and would like some clarification to see if I am reading things right.
The cars serial number is G209749, a 1946 5G Champion.
The distributor is a IGC4805. Which I think is from a 1949 not '46.
The only number I can find on the block is 518448-2. Which depending on the source is either a 1949 170" or a 1955 170".
Tranny originally had O/D (at least has the cable), but the tranny is a T-90 without O/D, and I don't think the T-90 came out for a couple of years after '46.
I realize the engine and tranny are not original, but could anyone out there confirm the engine year by the serial # and let me know if I am on track with the rest.
Any input would be appreciated.
