Thanks, Bryan!

I understand the mart about building up the vinyl letters five times to get the proper relief from the stamp. Is all vinyl sheet stock the same thickness, or do you specify a certain thickness?

I didn't get very scientific.  Just ol' cheap intemediate performance vinyl.  I think it's 5 mils.

No it looks like a Tecumseh parts book or catalog from some unknown/unstated year



The book in the second photo.

Bob Manuel's book that covers allot of details on the small block Ford

Found another stamping on my case, the nice D. Also included a pic of the tag on the compressor.
Working on finding the parts for it, rear bearing number is not coming up for me on google. Also trying to figure out the front seal, the seals all say "With 7/32 bolt holes or 9/32 bolt holes" and I have no clue WTH they are.

Goings nuts trying to locate the rear case bearing number. The original 17BC53 nachi bearing turns up nothing for me in searches.

I think I bit the biq one and bouqht it from Classic Auto Air in Tampa?

They are produced in Mexico for ONE customer...Classic Auto Air and they charqe 20X what they pay for them.  The Mexican distributor offered to sell me a case of them at Classic`s price but I had to buy 24 to qet that price.
