they will both keep your battery charged

in fact, the generator will charge a dead or low battery, and an alternator will leave you at the hotel waiting for the trickle charger to do it's thing

For around $38 you can buy a Hartford brand METAL stemmed tube 440/450-20/21 from Coker Tire and not butcher your wheels. Installed with the correct hardware, which is NOT available to you for a rubber stemmed tube, you are not going to slip the tube or cut off the stem. I have used Hartford 30x3 an...

There is no need to guess. The old term "running fit" has been defined in modern engineering terminology to include a multiple number of classes of fit for any number of environmental conditions. To be sure, a .002 running fit in 1909 did not mean ".002 on each side of the bearing", although, in pra...

When the idle adjustment screw is adjusted for this opening, it is usually due to the idle passage being either restricted or blocked. If the carb must be adjusted to run at idle as in the picture. then this is the case

Buyer's fees have been a regular fixture of many if not most auctions for the last 50 years. The seller pays a fee; the buyer pays a fee. The auctioneer makes a living for a lot of hard work and knowledge. Perhaps the buyer should pay both sides of the fee. That would be fairer to the seller, no? eB...

The lead washers install either way. The minor cupping is an artifact from the manufacturing process. It will flatten out and flow into the casting's porosity with very little pressure. Just be absolutely sure the old washer is out of there first! Shine a strong light down in there and be certain it...

James, I'm going to give a rambling discussion in the absence of having that article in front of me to answer your specific question. NH's came with 2 kinds of floats. The "normal" one with "x" buoyancy and the very late one for Improved cars which was larger that had, let's say for illustration, 2x...

Scott_Conger

All settings remain as NH/Ford specified with respect to float level setting: same measurements, same methodology.

Scott_Conger

For Bill and others: it is a direct drop in replacement for whatever valve is in your NH right now.

Scott_Conger

Many of you have heard of these valves. What you've never seen is why they perform so well on long hard hills or at higher speeds. Here is a common commercial valve on the left, used in many NH rebuilds, and to the right, a Full Flow Float Valve...the through-put is not just a little more, it is 2X ...

Thanks Dan, and am glad to hear it helped your friend's car. I never get tired of hearing stories like that. With through-put of fuel a good 50%+ over stock modern valves, this thing makes rebuilds perform like they should (and did when new). And you're right...I nearly always heat 'em first to get ...

Thank you Stan. Your encouragement is appreciated. The handle is hexagonal and fits a drill chuck in a drill press. The "T" handle limits it's insertion, and the hex provides certain gripping with the chuck (or wrench if desired). At present, I don't include a center hole on top right now, but certa...

Motorcycles and Model T transmissions typically run at 200F+ oil temperatures and both run their engine oil through gears.

If these are sintered bronze, they would not be the first that I've seen used in triple gears. And, if I am not mistaken, these were sold as the correct bushing by at least one supplier in the past.

They would be a poor choice indeed.

Scott_Conger

Appear to be Oilite - sintered bronze

sintered bronze, an engineered material, is not ductile and will fracture easily under the right conditions and is not engineered to take a severe load

cast bronze is ductile and will not fracture easily and is well suited to a pounding or severe load duty

in 2017, greehouse gas production in the US, per capita had dropped to the lowest level since 1964. Additionally, this also puts the US at 72% of our all time high (1972) output and as a bonus, at a constant downward path since 2000.

12+ volts and a float valve which is not restricted; and the two standard valves sold by dealers (grose and needle) have a greatly restricted hole for the fuel to flow through into the carb. They do not flow fuel nearly as well as the original one did. This restricts top speed and limits the length ...

Hopefully, you'll find a kind benefactor. Given that 25% of it's price is just the material cost alone, for the remaining $ return, I wouldn't fire up a lathe for the work and time involved. The list price is a bargain. Hope your search is not a long one.

Scott_Conger

I should have been more clear as to what to look for: note how far ccw the timer housing is. It just lifts off when the bolt is loosened and the tension "finger" is released. I cannot fathom why it will not rotate fully for you but you may come to a better understanding soon.

If it is not coming out easily, which it isn't, that means there are threads left in the pan to some extent.
