My 1954 Willys Wagon was built as a Model 685 SW. According to the VIN and the "6" embossed on the hood ornament it originally had a 6 cylinder engine. It is now powered with a flathead 4 and I have no idea what year the motor was built.
I looked at the flat area on the block between the head and the water pump, but all that is there is a nice set of mill marks where someone decked the block during a rebuild and wiped out the serial number.
The distributor has a vacuum advance, but the ID plate is missing.
The flywheel timing marks read T.C. and 5 which my service manual says is the "LATE TYPE ENGINES",but what years are "LATE"?
Can anyone help me narrow down the year or years this engine was produced?
Thanks,
Old Willy
