The engine in my 1937 120 is dated 11/6/45 - 373894 on the right rear crankcase. I do not know the model no. since the boss on the left front above the generator is blank - I understand that a blank boss is common when a new engine is replaced/installed by a dealership. The current carb.is a Stromberg EE-14 which I assume was on the original '37 engine. The head is HC-PMC 7*26-367635 and the distributor is an Auto-Lite IGT-4203 12A8. The placement of the crankcase vent tube tells me it is likely a std. 8 and not a Super 8. If is a std. 8 282 cubic inch engine, 21st. series what is the proper carb? a Carter WDO -512S? if so where might I find one?

Thanks
