    A pic of the front of the pinion carrier would help. My wild guess is shoebox Ford.

    I don't know why I wasn't thinking to check the hoghead for casting numbers. It's been one of those days. I've got a 513281 in one place with a large 5 underneath it, and a C240 in another place. That Olds sure looks like it.

    I think 50 Olds is the answer. Thanks all!

    Show us a photo of the front of the pumpkin. From the little I can see, it’s a Pontiac or Olds.
