statusman2010 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I have a Chrysler I am restoring, whish has been in an uncles shed for 15 years in bits looks like it is all there, but its a ground up resto. I have completed most of the chassis and just getting 2 wheels respoked. Starting on the motor and body. But I dont know how to determine the model and so source an origional manual. Chassis number L.S604L . Number on the left hand side of the block is 40692, and just above that is 5.14.8, 40632-2 is on the front of the motor behind the radiator fan, engine number on the head is P177323 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasha39 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 G'day statusman2010,Your engine number suggests it's a model 65, do your have the FEDCO number that is found on the dash, also what type of body do you have, if it is a 65 I do have a PDF of the owners manual that I can e-mail over to you if you like, always happy to help out a Kiwi.Cheers from across the pond.

28 Chrysler Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 The "LS" in the car's serial number is for the Model 65 and the "P" in the motor number is also for the Model 65, made late 1928 - 1929. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
