Title: Can't find engine number.
Post by: ALS30U on June 28, 2011, 10:20:56 PM
      I believe that I have a 1930U Plymouth. The body number is 383 373. The first thing I noticed that was odd is the trans is a 4 speed and the motor is different from any others I have seen in a 30U. I can't locate the engine number. I have found a casting number. It is 682529. There is water pump and manuel fuel pump on my motor. The distributor is on the right side to the rear of the oil filter. Any help in identifying the motor is welcome. I also want to thank all members for the posted information on rebuilding the brake system. I have put it to good use.

It could be from a PA or PB.  Pictures of the car and motor would be helpful.

That looks like a 30, 30 was the only year Plymouth put the horn on the light bar, But that's not a 30 engin

Just a guess but the exhaust manifold looks like something from a tracker or generator where the exhaust would vent straight up.  I think it might be a safe guess that this motor is not original to the car.   But you probably already knew this.  By the way.., Nice Car.
