In Reply to: WD or WD45? posted by j crayton on February 19, 1998 at 19:38:11:
: I recently purchased what was identified as a WD, but there are almost worn-away WD45 decals on the front shroud...
: SN is WD88550 (which may give the answer).
: Any other identifying characteristics?
The information the others gave is good. Additionally, the intake manifold on the 45 was "drooped" as compared to the straight one of the WD. On the 45 the intake was lowered to get it away from the exhaust for cooler air intake. The WD intake manifold was more or less straight and pretty close to the exhaust manifold. Another way to find out what you have is to compare pulling power if you could. The 45 would shine right quick there. Have a good day, John
