Well, since nobody appears to have answered yet (at least to the list)
I'll venture to guess that it's a 1500, based on info I received from
Eric Oster last week.  I have a friend with a 66, and his is *definately*
a 1500.  There should be a square tag on the fan housing on the left
side with engine specifications - I believe the 1500 produces 44 hp.
I'll have to look at that one in the junkyard again next weekend to be
sure.
