Thanks Bob. Yes I should have caught a couple things before responding. The=
 word sketch and Simon=E2=80=99s reference to the inside cover being inscri=
bed with the car information.  My brain told me that there was a printed re=
ference to the car shown on the cover. Wrong again. Also I should have pull=
ed my copy of the Haynes manual off the shelf before responding. The wood d=
ash is well beyond 16610.

Simon,

That VIN is in the registry, but no engine serial number.  The number=20
you have is about right based on other cars.  The entry is from 1998=20
with no contact info.

Perry,

Simon was referring to the illustration on the front cover of the=20
manual.  Tri-carb with wood dash.

Cheers,
