Welcome to the forum.
What sort of configuration is the motor?
BSA manufactured the Lightning (2 carb) and Thunderbolt (single carb) 650cc, parallel twin motor. Late 1960's to early 1970’s.
I don't recall there being anything along the lines of "M lightning bolt P" stamped on them though.
Could you post a picture of it?
