Help with identifying a motor
Hello, can anyone help me positively identify this motor? I think it's a '61 or '62 389, but most of the information I'm finding doesn't correlate with most of the numbers on the block. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Okay, thanks. Can anyone tell me what the other number mean though? What is "K18 0" by the distributor? Or the N above it? The 5 next to it? What about what look like "361 S" and "4078"?

K 18 0 = November 18th 1960
D N = Day or night shift |

Alrighty, thanks for the information. Is this motor any good? Any known problems? How much might it be worth? It doesn't run, but it's been sitting covered in a shop for years and turns over by hand.
