Picture of tag on 51 -308 iron head
Does any one have a picture of the aluminum tag found on some of the 51 308 heads? I had one but can't find it and want to make a new one to go back on the head. I believe these said "High test only" or something to that effect. They were used during the aluminum shortage. I had a picture posted but can't find the old posting on the forum.
Thanks!
Thanks!

still looking for the picture....HUDSON HEADS
The July, 1951 Hudson Service Merchandiser notes the following about 1951 heads: "Beginning with the 1st
production, an aluminum head of 7.2:1 compression ratio was standard. The marking on top of cylinder head
was H-145 Super Power Dome-304632 (this is casting number). The optional cylinder head was of cast iron,
6.7:1 ratio, with marking H-145 Power Dome-304630.
Later, a cast iron cylinder head, 7.2: ratio, was used as standard-marking H-145 Super Power Dome-305923,
and a metal tag with the imprint USE PREMIUM FUEL. The present and final change for standard head 7.2:
ratio is of a new casting with marking H-145 Super Power Dome Use Premium Fuel-305854."
The metal tag head was simply standard equipment.0 -
I've got one of those Kerry.0

Puzzles me that both compression ratios had "H145" on them. One would think that the higher ratio would be higher horspower.0
