<div><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I would like to verify that the block I have for my BN1 is indeed an Austin-Healey engine block & not for some other Austin application. The problem is the engine I.D. plate is missing.  This alone would not be a concern for me but there is another anomaly. The machined area on the side of the block where the distributor mounts only has a single bolt hole for the distributor mounting clamp, not the usual two holes. My BN1 is early with body #718, engine # 1B139718. </span></div>
<div> </div>
<div>The following data is cast into the block:</div>
<div>                     Westlake Patent</div>
<div>                     NO 593441</div>
<div> </div>
<div>5'12'9          1B1699          AF </div>
<div> </div>
<div>If this is a BN1 block, where can I get a single eared distributor mounting clamp?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>FYI, The only other BN1 block I could inspect had the following cast into the block:</div>
<div>1B2363          Westlake Patent</div>
<div>J665               NO 593441</div>
<div> </div>
