Jonathan Richards wrote: From a review of the 81/812 Engineering Changes notes your 1937 Cord Thanks for this interesting history on my car in general. Had forgotten my car was made or born in January of 1937. Once again the more I know the less I know about Cords. Still enjoy learning just the same. I think it was Josh Malks said once. Just when you think you have seen everything about these cars. something else comes up. Thanks..
Gary Parsons Model 812 Beverly was manufactured in late January, 1937. Cars with Serial Nos. 1746 and 31747 are shown in that time frame. The elimination of oil/water fill through the right cowl door began in May of 1936 per the same E.C. notes.

For length you need to measure the height of the heads and the height of the gasket. There are several different heights of the heads and thickness of gaskets, so you need to check any installation. You also need to check the threads in the holes as many times the first couple of threads have been pulled or the bottom threads may have corroded.

I believe the technical term is embrossed . If 810-812 cords used the same 7/16 x 3.5 bolts, why wouldn't they used the same part. I have replaced many head bolts without markings or incorrect markings that were installed in the 40's-70's. I have three factory pictures clearly showing dark or black parkerized head bolts installed in 35-36 Auburns. I cannot speak to cad plated bolts on 810-812 Cords, but that is what I have.

I have quite a number of factory forged W ,GR8 SZ730 ( 3.5 inches long) head bolts that are cad plated. I am considering cutting some down and offering them to 810-812 owners

Didn't the originals have a 'W' on the head ?
Were original 810-812 head bolts cad plated or parkerized?

Must have been drilled and re-tapped at some point. Joseph has the bolt lengths on his website.
