That's a B-18B...I got it from a friend, stripped it down to the bare block, then rebuilt it...Then I dropped it into my wife's 1964 122S...She put 165K on it...Love those SU6 carbs...

BTW, in case you did not know, the diodes in the alternator are BIG and are right in the alternator case itself on a heat sink...The regulator does not have diodes, just a pass transistor and a couple of resistors...
