Is there a site anywhere that would help me to identify an engine type or its age from its number: M104927?
Regards,
Jamie.

104927 is an early coil-ignition engine, dating from January 1930.

Thank you. Seemingly not the engine originally fitted to the car which is a 1935 Ruby.

If it's fitted to a Ruby, I would be curious to know how the starter motor is located. Could it, perhaps, be 164927, which would date from early 1933 and at least be a forward-mounted-starter unit? Or maybe 204926 which would be an early Ruby number ...

The starter motor is not in the car, but it would appear to have faced into the engine bay, towards the radiator. I can check later. JonE: Could you please expand as I am not that familiar with the differences? Martin: Thank you. Regards, Jamie.

first of crank shaft 1 5/16" crank was in top 99,000s, as I know I'm glad mine is!
You need Wyatt's book as Martin said.. then you can see what you have and what you haven't. So presumably you DO have the later, smaller, rear mount starter?

That certainly looks like a 1930 crankcase.
