The coil has been replaced, as the TE6A3 coil was used until the end of the 1956 model year. This explains why the bracket is missing.

Also, my Dec '54 Barndoor engine with an upright air cleaner has the fuel line hole in the front tin. I believe the tin is original.

Was that for my engine or the Barndoor one?

Yours. I can read "TE6B1" on the end of the coil.

Didn't realize that there was 2 different styles to go along with the front pulley tin until 2day, it's prob in this thread and I've read it but forgotten.
U can see the differences with the finger section.

Finger is for 25hp. You want the pulley tin with no finger.

This is 25hp tin.

U sure? Australia was limited with 25hp motors an I have 2 of the finger crank tinwares, plus my engine has been I storage for 40? odd years.
By the looks of it too, the front pulley has never been off and it's the no finger pulley tin, so needs the finger crank start tinware if that makes sense.

The pulley is a later pulley too as has been stated. So yes, you need the crank start tin with no finger, the one with blue paint on it above.

I'm goin to have to look into this now. I've never seen a random 25hp engine around the place here unless in an early car (which are very few) so it wouldn't explain why I have 2 25hp crank tinwares.

When did the thin lip pulley finish tho?

Australia had random things too, not standard stuff like USA

so this is seriously, just an oil change and clean the plugs. scraped out the sludge from where my finger could fit around the sump plate.
didnt touch the points, clearances or anything.
the pump even worked. needed to bypass the og line to the pump, it had holes.
got fuel into the carb, then cranked away with the crank handle.

then this happened.

Thats one of the reasons I love these 36hp engines!! I did the same thing with an engine that was sitting on a barrel in a lean-to for 30+ years. The guy I bought it from remembered his dad setting it there after he pulled it out of a wrecked 56' oval. That's awesome!

Here's my September '54 36hp nearing completion, yes I know the coil should be black Razz

Any other notable errors? One thing to note, it has been 12v converted, but aiming to keep the stock 6v look Smile

It looks great.
Are you going to run a fake regulator to complete the look or convert a round regulator to 12v?

That is one rare sigt. Those original manifolds are very hard to find. Did that bus come with that manifold or did you add it? If you have any problems with the engine running correctly, a vacuum leak from the inside of the jacket is the first thing to check.

This pulley looks to be for 25hp, and for 13 mm belt.
