It is a 41 because the dash has a horizontal rectangular speedometer and the clock is rectangular on the glove box.
The compression on the engine was from 60 down to 20. I had my mechanic take the head to a machine shop to have it planed.The mechanic thinks the low compression is due to the valves and not the rings.. They did not find any cracks. They cleaned out the bb's out and cleaned off the valves and the block. We put an new head gasket on it. It will turn over but won't start. He was using starting fluid because we are not sure what is the situation with the fuel tank. The guy I bought it from said it did run.. but was very hard to start.. He never said anything about the bb's in the engine. We have no idea about the transmission or clutch.
