"Original"-- Technical Questions, Answers, Observations / Re: 1953 CJ3A engine data plate

Bob, you are correct I looked very closely at the block and cannot see any grooves from previous rivets being installed. Also makes sense as original as this Jeep is there would be a tag still on the engine. So the late blocks were drilled for a engine tag but not installed on Willys. Thanks for your input.

Here's some head pics. Wonder if all the Kaiser blocks might be drilled for id plate but only the cars had a tag??

The Kaiser tag would definitely fit but is it correct for a Willys Jeep??

Hey guys we are restoring a original willys CJ3A for a customer and the original engine has the boss under the distributor boss drilled for rivets. Cant seem to find any info on what engine tag might have been there. It was a standard bore engine so it hasn't been rebuilt. Did find some info on a Kaiser tag but was told that those were only on the cars. Here's a pic.

Thanks Tom

Anyone know what the correct factory installed radiator cap was for a late CJ3A? I know it was a 4 1/2ld pressure cap.

Thanks Tom

This 3A was very original so I think the auto lite bullseye is original. I posted it in the watned section as well but anyone have a bullseye bulb working or not?

Thanks Tom

Thanks Tom
