Side Water Outlet
Just came across this and was wondering if anyone had ever seen or had one like it? It has Ford script and the diamond cast in it.

Re: Side Water Outlet
Ditto
BTW, It's a water INLET, not An OUTLET, which is on the top of the head.

Re: Side Water Outlet
The "Diamond" you refer to is the Ford foundry mark. If you look carefully, there is this mark on a lot of the castings made by Ford.

Re: Side Water Outlet
The diamond is a genuine Ford part but cast by an outside foundry. That mark can be found on many Ford parts.

Arnold, I agree that it is a triangle and an original foundry mark. Original Ford Model A cylinder heads manufactured during production had either a straight line, 45 degree line, or a triangle on the top of the head between the two upper water pump mounting studs. This foundry mark was used for QA (Quality Assurance) to identify the source of discrepant parts. Cylinder heads manufactured later and sold at Ford dealers as replacement parts were marked differently. |
