Yes, PMCC's reference to a "Utica engine number" is misleading to newcommers as well as to me. No doubt PMCC was over embellishing again by using that term. It somewhat begs the question then, WHERE ELSE did they build engines????? i.e. a Utica # as opposed to what other geograghical location????

General accepted terms accross nearly all manufactureres and public and governemts prior to the late 60's was:

"Serial Number" for the vehicle unit WHEREEVER so situated on the vehicle-unit identifying the entire vehicle-unit regardless of location or locationS (plural) that it mite appear.

"Engine number" would be a number on the engine identifying the engine and some character in the engine number would then identify geographical manufactureing location of the Engine.
