is this a canadian long block? If so, or even if not.. have a look at my pics. I have a 218 as well.

Thanks, I did found that out as someone on ebay told me..I think I will send the unit up to usa and get it reconditioned. But thanks for that Rich..

Whats the address from Terrill machine shop and would he have a reconditioned one?

Ok, I am frustrated! Chasing an advance Vacum control unite for a Fargo - 1950 - Model FN1 with a IAT-4004A Distributor. I Found one on Ebay for sale, but am not sure if the thing will work after all these years.. and spending $70 + postage is not cheap. Can someone explain why I cant use just any vacum advance, do I have to use the one specially made for that distributor?

nice job, wish i was that far... still bashing and grinding!

How did the steele rubbers fit? I have bought the whole set so am curious if they fitted well.

Napa online list them (bronze) but dont give me a cost price.. http://www.napaonline.com/Search/Results.aspx?Ntt=freeze%20plugs&Ntk=Keyword&N=599001+101950+50022+2022101

well, lots of answers but I still am not the wiser.. I am trying to find a set of freeze plugs but when asking for the bronse ones I got told of as u see... so 2 questions: does napa sell freeze plugs, or where do I get the bronze ones and are these safe to use..

Hi folk, I see the pic of the block with Bronse "freeze Plugs".. some one wrote me never to use these plugs, see the email I recieved.. Dear 53leiden, Absolutely not! These are steel except fot the one behind the cam which is brass. You DO NOT want non-ferrous (brass/bronze) core plugs in contact with the engine block and an electrolyte (the coolant). That sets up a galvanic battery taht erodes the cast-iron block. Ever have a boat with a sacrificial zinc plate? Your engine become the sacrificial anode.
