8HP or 10HP?
Posted: Thu Jul 11, 2019 1:04 pm
I know this topic has been covered before, but reading through the threads, I am still not certain how to visually identify the difference. Much of the discussion is about the difference between a 10HP and the later 100E engine. I'm clear on that. But I don't know how to tell the difference between 8HP and 10HP.
What I have: a 1949 RHD Anglia E494A. The engine is 13 head studs with nuts. The dynamo is top-mounted. The engine appears to be original stock equipment (but who can tell, right?) The vehicle data plate says 'Engine No. Y377878". On the top of the cylinder head is a small data plate that says "23N". On the Passenger side of the block (THE USA PASSENGER SIDE!) is a series of numbers/letters that appears to be "19E 6015AR". There is another small data plate affixed to the bulkhead behind the center of the engine (maybe a chassis or body number) that reads "640/7517". If it helps, the carb is a Zenith 26VF.3"
So, what do I have? 8HP or 10HP? Thanks for all your expertise, and let me know if I can provide any additional information.
