You have all been very helpful. I found the square plate behind the distributor but there was nothing stamped on it. On the right hand side, starting at the torque tube, the number cast in front of the brake pedals is: 351887 R. Below that number, in front of the battery, is the number: 1 2 Y. On the side of the hydraulic unit is the number: 357657 R. Below that is the number: 12 18 X. Behind the oil filter is the number 354898 R1. There is a letter "L" to the right of the filter. Behind the distributor, cast in the block is the number: 12 30 X. Using the information you have furnished, it appears that the block and the hydraulic unit were cast in December, 1952, while the torque tube was cast on Jan. 2, 1953. I'm guessing that they never assigned a "year of manufacture" until assembly was complete, so this would be a 1953 model, right?
