What head is this?

Post by Dan Hatch » Sun Jun 23, 2024 3:50 pm

Who made this head? Is this a Reeder? I look in the outlet and didn’t see anything. Thanks Dan

Dan is that a low head? It’s an early Reeder head.

Parker made a few high and low, had some issues on using the Ford logo I believe, then made them without, he would have a P in the casting inside the water outlet.

This image was posted a while ago of a low style Reeder head, the Reeder heads are easily identified by the round casting sprue on the top.

I just worked on a High Reeder Head that did not have the REEDER around the water outlet.
