The RK-27A is a 1965
The RKL-24 is 1962
The RK-26R is 1964

Seloc Volume 1 will cover all three models. All three models have the improved powerheads, versus the '60 and '61's. They have a larger crank and lower compression. These are great motors and will offer great service, providing they were treated good in the past. The parts motor may actually be brought back to life, if there isn't any damage done to it.

Good luck. I hope this helps.

For the most part, yes. There are some differences like the automatic chokes.
