Here are the numbers off the various tags.

Carburetor Tag
Autolight

F-8B26

Engine Tag
352 66 6 FoMoCo
5 K 290 S

Steering
HCD B
5J 28C 1

Rear Axle
WDM-H
3 25 5KA 313

VIN Plate on door

WR Color Model Body Trans Axle
115 WM F100 B81 G 17
Max GVW Net HP RPM DSO
5000 172 4000 22

Which transmission do I have, obviously automatic, but can you tell me anything else? Im leaking coolant pretty far back, possible near the transmission, does the transmission have a coolant line from the radiator?

Is the autolite carburetor considered the Ford carb? It looks like a 2 barrel but I am new to looking at carbs.

The oil bath had zero oil in it, how big of a deal is that?

I need a new radiator, where is the best place to buy one?

PS: I have one pic in my album for the curious.

thanks
Scott

Welcome to the club Scott, I'm on the Eastern Shore of Md. not too terribly far. Check out the Mid Atlantic Chapter down a little ways. We had a get together this past weekend and had a blast! I think we had 16 members show up.
