‘48 Jeepster build out of a box

[kctckc]

I've got a 1948 Jeepster with a 4-134 F Head Motor 473 engine and the Zenith carb. I kinda inherited this build. I've got boxes of "stuff" that belong to it. Where can I find some engine pictures for reference?
I bought the mechanics manual, that has helped a little.

If your Jeepster is a 1948 it should have the L134 engine (go devil). They were often switched out with the F134 (hurricane) when the engine got tired. I attached a couple pictures of a Jeepster with the L134 and the Zenith Carb, and a couple of a Willys truck with the F134 (473) motor with the Carter Carb.. I hope that helps.

Looks great, how dose the air filter set on in the L134? What is the bracket that is used there? I appreciate any help

They made several types of air filters. The most common on the L134 Jeepster and 2WD wagons was the canister type. I don't have a good picture, but I attached a schematic from the parts book. They also used an oil bath type for the L134, that was attached to the passenger side fender, see attached, and for the L148/161 six they used an oil bath type that was mounted on top of the carb, see attached.
