...here are some pictures of my 9N and 8N housings...the 9N lines go directly into block under the housing and then around to the governor. The scallops are wider on the 8N housing. The 8N has a drain plug and one line snakes around to the junction block on the opposite side while the front line goes to the governor. If anyone has a picture of the round-bottom housing please post with your year/model. The 9N is a '39 and the 8N is an early '48 ( Cast code of September '47 ). Does this mean that the statement in the Pripps' book about the early housings being the round-bottoms is not neccessarily true? Or that several vendors were used throughout production years? Just curious as I am restoring my early 9N and I believe all parts to be original.
