How many A's still have their original engine.

My 29 Coupe has the original engine.

One on my two '31 pickups has the original engine, 1st rebuild was last year.

The number on my engine block matches the one on my title, so I would say "yes" on my 1930 Coupe. I have not seen the frame numbers yet. My car also has a gasoline ration sticker on the windshield, dated 1942.

Donvito, you need the 1930-1 water outlet, as it's about an inch taller than the 1928-9 outlet you have on the engine now. Notice the top hose doesn't fit quite as straight as it could.

Tom, thank you. I didn't know that. However, I got my James Rupert water pump this week. I installed the pump yesterday, and finished the job today. I also put a new radiator in the car. The old pump was a nightmare to separate from the head. It took about an hour to loosen it. My aluminum two blade fan broke, trying to get it off from the old pump, so I had to use a four blade fan that I picked up this week. I got everything back together and the hood lines up very nice. I drove the car this afternoon, not one drop of water leaking anywhere. I did not remove the water outlet while installing the water pump and radiator. I've read how the water outlets can break while working with them too. I think I will leave that water outlet alone for now.
