No problem, I can answer your other questions as well but Ill wait for one of the 4 cyl guys to do it, try not to step on anyones toes anymore than I already do and they have alot more knowledge about your car than I.

Ronald ....just saw this post. My 4 cyl engine # is C 842-314 just 130 before yours (if yours starts with a C). Your serial # would be around 70,000 less than your engine #. Here I'm referring to US built vehicles,not sure how that translates to engines sent to Australia for vehicles built there.

Ultralite and Jason,

Sorry but your engine is from Oct '22. Remember the engine numbers run around 50,000 HIGHER than the car number. So that would come from a car with around 794000 and would be from a car built in Oct. '22.

Thank you RAH, Also I found the frame number behind the spring shackle as advised earlier, the number is; 789 - 775 (there are no letters). The third last 7 has been stamped with a more decoritive or fancy number 7 could this mean anything?

Thanks everyone for you imput, Regards ultralight.
