It's just the model # for a particular "padlock" style motor that was used in the dragsters back then . Smaller brother is the DC65 used in road race slot cars.

RAM also did similar style motors ,although I can't help with model numbers. The pittman may even be DC84.. someone should be able to help you out further.

There has recently been some original drag cars on epay with the very motors you probably need for that chassis.

The Pittmans would have been the DC84 & DC85. The Rams were 850 & 857.

Here's the instruction sheet from my frame - there's an extra motor plate that looks like it's supposed to be screwed to the plate in the frame - the extra plate has the holes, but not the one in the frame! 

 

That's definitely the size for a Pittman DC84 or DC85, or a Ram DC850 or DC857, or a Strombecker clone, the Devastator I think...

Never having had one, I've always wondered how the motor was supposed to be mounted. I might have used a brass 'L' soldered at the back of the chassis plate with motor stud holes in the upright of the 'L'. Should I ever build one, I'll probably use a can motor.
