I'd bet it was originally a non turbo (LD engine) A2 with rear exhaust. A1s ended in '64 or '65 I think. I think they started putting turbos on in the early 70s. You might see if any of your engine or injection pump tags refer to an LD vs. LDT. It may have gotten an LDT with the rebuild...

I had a fan eat the radiator on my '62. I noticed recently on my dropside that the clevis that attaches the radiator to the front of the block is adjusted too far in, putting the radiator dangerously close to the fan. Delicate balance between that and the hood latch...

Looked at adapting a 21si a little bit. Might mod the factory bracket
The tension bolt on the large band clamp on the 4LE-354 turbo was broken. No wonder it didn’t seem to boost. Welded a new section on the bolt yesterday.
Found pea shooter’s hard brake lines breakdown. Just might make this thing go and stop yet.
That being said, I want to build a TD block LDS...
Wishing I could help, following cuz I can't much yet. All the years I've had deuces, I haven't had to mess with electrical.
Maybe look at Jatonka's M35 TMs. Or they are here on SS too I think.
