Asa,
Cory Price responded about the shelf and I remembered that it was
visible because it wasn't covered by the intake. I now remember the
difference. Been looking at too may Windsors lately.
Thanks for the reply. Will try and make a comeback from CRS.
Thanks,
jerry

Asa,
Cory Price responded about the shelf and I remembered that it was
visible because it wasn't covered by the intake. I now remember the
difference. Been looking at too may Windsors lately.
Thanks for the reply. Will try and make a comeback from CRS.
Thanks,

access to the photos right now, but there are two specific tell-tale
signs. One is that the intake is a lot wider. But the easier is that
the distributor appears to sit deeper in the block because of a visible
"shelf" of additional material at the top of the block at the front
cast-in timing cover.
I'm sure someone like Mike Drew can get photos before I can. If not,
I'll help out later tonight.

mental
micrometer is not good enough to tell the difference in deck height
between blocks and I can't see inside to compare the water boss height
and shape. Is the casing number of "D2AE" sufficient to differentiate
the blocks?
Thanks in advance,
