A person needs the parts catalogs to realize what all groupings there are in the early Ford numbering sequence. FoMoCo changed this system beginning in the late 40s but they still used the same sequence groupings. They just added to the prefixes to denote the year and model codes.

Whirleybird.....I know the numbers of which you speak AFTER the hyphen. I was curious as to where he got the -100006 and the -3000756 numbers from. Never seen a suffix # that large. DD
PS......Are you old enough to remember "Whirleybirds"? DD
