Gary, my books show your motor to be a '57 and up "Regular 235".
F = Flint
5 = month
08 = day
A = Regular 235
Note '56 and earlier motors had serial numbers stamped just ahead of the
Plant Date Code, they stopped putting serial numbers on motors starting in
'57.
3764476 was used on the following, and is a 235:
'55 PASS(exc. P.G.)
55-59 Ser. 3 (2nd Ser.)
60-62 Ser. 10 thru 30
63 4-WD (1st Ser.)
Hope this helps!
