Hi Pete,
This is Michigan Casting Company. From what I understand they started when Dearborn Iron Foundry
Finished. They were not casting in the 1960's and most plants that worked with cast iron have closed or changed to aluminium. Hope this helps.

    Is that a "Nodular" case?  ???  O.K., the picture provides for a somewhat limited observation but, if I'm holding my head and thinking right, the ribbing doesn't seem correct for such?  :-\

    If it actually is, Ford did reintroduce the "N" case for the 1985 F150 "H.O." trucks so 'maybe' that's a possibility?  ???

    Scott.

My thoughts as well. From the angle, it doesn't appear to be a Nodular.
