Decode Vibration Dampener Casting #
I have a vibration Dampener that I am needing to decode. Is there a place to decode Ford part #s? The casting # is COAE-6316-A
Thanks

The experts say that you cannot decode casting numbers into part numbers but do we care, even if not really exact.
Around a 1960 car, if that helps, would need a parts book that I don’t have to maybe tell engine size.

Hum, I think I will have to leave you in the caring and gentle hands of “number dummy” retired ford parts-man extraordinaire. Best to send him a PM with all the info you have and a precise question.

Thanks for the info. Looks like all references are pointing that this will work on my 57 292.

You have to match the harmonic balancer to the existing flywheel your engine has now. Otherwise you will have a vibration that sooner or later, will tear the center from the flywheel.
The COAZ balancer was used in 1960/62 Ford Passenger Cars, it was not used in anything else.
C3TZ-6312-E (replaced B5AZ-6312-B) .. Harmonic Balancer-Single Sheave (pulley groove).
Applications: 1957/58 Truck 272 / 1957/64 Truck 292 (except 292 H/D / 1955/59 Passenger Car 272/292/312 (except 1957 312 with dual quads or supercharger).

The actual casting # was ECG 6316 D1 which according the Damper Doctor's cross reference at Damper Doctor Online: Casting Number Interchange shows the ECG D1 to be for a Ford 292 Damper Doctor Online: FORD 292 C.I. V8
FYI the engine is a 1957 292 out of a Fairlane, so it looks like it is a cross reference match.
