Differentialting a 1938 Eight (a/k/a "120") from a Super Eight is very simple, just open the hood and take a gander.

The Super Eight has a two-piece engine block, aluminum lower crankcase and cast iron cylinders with the distributor mounted vertically on top of the cylinder head. The Eight has a one-piece engine block with the distributor mounted low down at an upwards angle on the driver's side.
