Athawk11 you are correct. When checking out the data plate for the title it is hard to see but indeed a 2A.
Not quite sure why my pics gets flipped around??

The yokes are off for re-sleeving and it looks like ill need new front brakes. Im thinking of converting the front to 11 inch drums and putting a 1 inch cylinder on the back 9 inch drum. Thought?

Rut Ro, coolant in the intake manifold. Head Gasket?? Cracked knuckle.
Also, is the oil filter suppose to be that small? I replaced it and the new one is smaller than the old one.

The water pump was leaking a little. Rebuild or Replace?? I was able to get all of the studs out, only one was a problem.

I can't say about the brakes or oil filter.  Does the water pump have any shaft play to it?  As Bob mentioned earlier, maybe rebuild if it is the OE pump and replace if it is a replacement.  A new one is about $30-40 I believe.

One note on the brakes...I have the 11 inch drums all around and on the rears I put on cylinders that were one size bigger than what Napa said to use, as I already had them.  Anyway, they work fine, but occasionally on gravel I do get some lock up on the rear wheels when they should just be rolling.  I would stick with the cylinder that is called for on the rears.  Just my experience.

About the oil filter...

Walck's lists two filter sizes, the C-3 and the C-4

The C-3 is 3 3/4" wide by 4 1/4" tall, and the C-4 is 4 1/4" wide by 4 3/4" tall.

You have to dig a little on their website to find them both....

Maybe you have the small filter element in the large canister?
