I went back and looked again at the tag.  Under the dirt and grime is red paint and it looks like 040 is stamped on it.

There is a tag below the distributor, but I could not see anything stamped on the tag.  On the driver's side, "12" is on the block about mid way down toward the rear.  Below that is 10-8 C (maybe)  Its hard to make out.  Maybe 10-3 C.

The engine number on my 1950 3A is 3537887.  When looking at the database, I see all the numbers listed have a "J" for the second digit.  Any ideas why I have a 5 instead?

If I had read the whole questions and answers section on the Kaiser's product description, I would have answered my own question.  Thanks for the help!

Does the thermostat go in the housing before or after the retainer?

I went to the part store today and got a new thermostat.  When I took the housing off (only broke two of the three bolts), I found the old thermostat was is two pieces.  I'm confused how the new style thermostat is going to be held in place.  Does anyone have photos of how it and the retainer go into the housing.  Thanks!

Here are some pics of my 1960 Truck.  It looked a lot like the one Ryan found in the woods when I started.  It was my father in law's for 30 years before he gave it to me.  I spent way too much fixing it up, but I'll own it forever.  I'll try to find some before pictures.
