Always.[emoji3]Do you a picture might help if I post one?
What does it say on the block after "126"? Going back to your original question and as long as it's not "A5", it could be one of several versions of the 650. Please check this thread:Good spot and many thanks for pointing me in the direction of this marking.
So my car has been lying to me......
Many thanks for the help!View attachment 197937
Worth a closer look.[emoji3]It's says fiat 126A. Can't see anything after that
So congratulations. . at least we're back to square one as it is a 652cc block. The dynamo is not out of character as the early 126 did not have an alternator. So we can make a guess that it is the lower compression engine but perfectly good at that. [emoji3]Just checked and it has 000 after 126A

Sorry..that sounds right. I'm away from homeand my references and I was referring back to memory where I thought that 126A5 was 594, but that was possibly just when fitted to a 500R., (or possibly not at all[emoji3]).Sorry to have to correct you Peter----but "126A" is only 594cc, and was used in the 500R and the first of the 126 cars and they had dynamos fitted. When they went to 652cc, the engine number changed to "126A1" and they were fitted with alternators.
