<Snip>...what looks like a Typical TRactor motor but the
Serial number stamped next to the coil mount bracket is V669ME....The 
casting number on the head is 302137. I haven't been able to see a 
serial number yet, may take some cleaning first.

True. I don't know as much about TR cylinder heads, but many Herald and 
Spitfire heads do have PART NUMBERS stamped in, said numbers not to be 
confused with casting numbers that are literally cast into the head.

Anything else too look for? David Hammond suggested also that it was a
Vangard unit fitted to a Morgan.

Ah, that might explain the "M" as part of the suffix!?
