christineman Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Does anyone have a auburn they could snap me a close of? I have a new tag to put on my auburn as the old one is gone. I just want to see how and where to have my didgets put on in the correct place and correct spacing. Something in the 1929-33 areai will even pay for your time if needed. Thank u in advancechristineman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimo Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Here is something from www.auburnsmidwest.com Engine Compartment – Under the Hood[h=2]Engine[/h][h=3]Engine Block[/h]In 1934 the 8 cylinder engine was introduced with a water side plate cover, used to extract the sand from the casting. This style of block ran to sometime mid to late 1935, when 5 freeze plugs blocks were introduced.All engine block assemblies carry part # A90458. No other part number has been found for designation of the various types of block. Five freeze plug engines were superseded by a 3 freeze plug variety which ran until the end of production in 1936, making these rare.6 cyl engine A90425 started with a water side plate in 1934 and changed in mid 1935 to a 5 freeze plug version. There are no known 6 cyl 3 freeze plug engines.[h=3]Data Plate[/h]The first line of a data plate indicates the Model• 1934 8 cylinder is 850Y or 850X• 1934 6 cylinder is 652Y or 652X• 1935 8 cylinder is 851• 1935 6 cylinder is 653• 1936 8 cylinder is 852• 1936 6 cylinder is 654The second line is the Serial Number which is a numerical code followed by an alphabetical suffix.The serial is derived from the number stamped on the right hand front frame rail, plus a count of 1000. Example: if a 1934 car frame number is 1100, the serial will 2100. Example: if a 1935 or 1936 car has a frame number of 3120, the serial number will be 4120 except if it is supercharged. If supercharged, the serial number is prefixed with a 3, so frame of 3120 would be serial 34120.The alphabetical suffix indicates body type:• A – Sedan• B – Brougham• C – Touring• E – Speedster• F – Cabriolet• G – Victoria• H – Phaeton Sedan• K – 7-Passanger Sedan• L – Chassis• M – CoupeThe third line of Data plate is Engine number: a combination of alphabetical indicator and number.The alpha-plus-number is found hand stamped onto a boss located on the left front top of the engine.• 6 cyl prefix WF and a sequence of block• 8 cyl will be one of the following prefixes followed by a sequence number:o GA – came with cast iron head. Used in commercial vehicles and in some early 1935 cars, possibly to use the stock up o GG – came with aluminum head, standard production o GH- supercharged engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curti Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Thanks for the plug Kimo, that is my website. I stamped that tag with the old style font. Also notice that the embossed font is different that the data plate on eBay. Those are the correct drive nails as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
