Diamond B i.d.

[Ian in Mississauga]

I know this is unimportant but I'm curious. The engine in my car is a model B. It has the small diamond in the casting but there is no date code. Is this common?

My "A" Diamond block has no date code.

There is a number stamped on a small plate that is date coded. rv in so can't show picture. But in on block looks like plate with two mall screws but is cast into block.

Model A diamond blocks did have date bar. I have had two of them.

 

[GerryAllen]

can you guys show a picture of the date bar location

The date code is on the same side as the diamond, behind it 3-4" and has a capital letter followed by 2 numbers. Mine is C 5 7 which means March 5, 1937.

D126 = April 12th 1936

My car has a diamond engine, not sure what that means. Will look for the date code and do some research on Diamond engines.
Thanks guys

I have 2 "Diamond" Model "B" engines and neither of them has a date. I see no significance to the "Diamond" blocks other than the "Diamond" caster's mark is indicative of an aftermarket manufacturer.
