I’ve got that speedometer to go in a speedster with an Overland body, fits perfectly with existing holes. If you took that bracket off the back and turned it 180 degrees it should fit. You might have to drill more holes to attach the bracket back to the speedometer.

I turned mine around from how they are in this picture because I read on here the oiler facing the rear is supposed to be on top so you don’t have to climb under the car to put oil in.
Maybe a close up of a factory photo would show how the later style were installed originally.

I’ve used Evaporust as well as other harsh chemicals and found out on another forum that citric acid works just as well and is relatively inexpensive to mix up a 5 gallon bucket full. It comes in powdered form and you get it by the Mason jars in the canning department. I partially dipped this intake...

This is who I talked to, Ron Fellows, just outside of El Paso. This is from the 2008 forum so I’m not sure if the phone number is the same and I believe he told me he was moving. It seems like he told me about the process. I remember something about inserting the corks and facing them down on a lath...

I believe Doug Wildrick is the main person doing Hudson clutches now. There was a man in El Paso, Texas that dt I spoke to around 2008 when I put a clutch in my 47. He said he was moving and I think also going to stop doing them. I soaked the disc all night in “Hudsonite” oil before I installed it. ...

Either the passenger side headlight socket is grounded or there is a short to ground somewhere in the wire that goes across to the drivers side. If the drivers side bulb was blown neither would work.

I’m sorry, I was getting them for a friend and he just called and said he needs 97’s.

Along the lines of what Wayne said, I’ve got this column with a later one piece gear box and reproduction brass quadrant that I’m going to use on a speedster. You can tell it doesn’t belong together but it’s similar and nobody but T people will know. I had it in my 1914 until I found an original col...

This accessory came to mind. Only way I can see it would get directed exactly where it was wanted.

Corey Walker

Corey Walker

Thanks. That makes sense because I think he found it in his other grandpa’s barn. He had been a carpenter. I remember being down there and seeing an old asbestos siding cutter. The old house that was there had that, I believe the carport that’s still there has it now. No telling what all is in there.

Corey Walker

This probably isn’t even automotive related but my cousin found this old tool and we can’t figure it out. I told him somebody here would know.

I wanted a speedometer for my 14 but it was a bit out of my range all at once. One day I bought a wheel gear off eBay and I had to finish it then. I just bought a part at a time when they popped up until I had it all. I think I paid $150 for the swivel, that was the most expensive part out of them a...

Here are pictures of both sides of a presumably original ring gear and a pic of a reproduction. It looks like it roils be possible to machine an original and the gash marks not be present.

Years ago I had a 1937 Plymouth and I bought some spark plug “anti-moisture “ covers or whatever they called them. They were a metal bowl that took the place of the washer on the bottom or maybe eorked with it somehow, I don’t remember. The top was rubber that snapped on the base. The only thing I c...

I bought a 1914 motor one time with an aluminum hogshead and lettered pedals but a wide nose pan. That’s not unusual because an arm could’ve broken off the original. It had a high head installed but the outlet was for a later radiator and it had an aluminum fan pulley with the long straight arm, Als...

Corey Walker

Here are some pictures. You can see the scalloped mounting bracket, also the 90 degree elbow that screws on instead of the straight tube used previously. The 1915 bracket is different than previous years as well. There is a brass tube not pictured that covers the reed and holds the bulb.

Corey Walker

i think I read that is to prevent the front crossmember from cracking because the newer spring mounting is too flexible and it makes a stress point. I found this one on a chassis I bought years ago.

I don’t get enough of them to remember but I thought the odd one was the swayback with the vent.

I’ve noticed that NH’s all have the ID tag, regardless if it’s a Holley or Ford tag, or a Model F, the tag where that if you are holding the carburetor in your hand it is legible right side up but the Kingstons are always upside down do that you can read them while standing over it with it installed...

Corey Walker

I had a clamp screw break in my 14 and it damaged one of the longer style clamps so I put an ad in the classifieds for one along with this picture. Somebody noticed the later mag ring and gave me a reason as to why it would work, just not as exactly intended. I replaced the longer style with the lat...

I’ve found that it’s messy trying to drink in a T because it bounces your drink right out of it’s container. I do have one of these generic drink holders that’s also good for storage.

The 1913 Holley S was similar but the pick up tube was soldered to the mixing chamber cover and the holes for the gas to flow were machined to line up for gas flow. The air bleed, which also served as an overflow drain, was a hole drilled from the bottom on both the G and S.

Corey Walker

It was the same principle but required a lot more machining and parts. The G for example has a pick up tube that originates in the pool of gas in the depression of the jet then screws to a fitting allowing the gasoline to pass from the mixing chamber to a passage drilled to the carburetor throat. Th...

Those passages are for the gasoline to flow through at idle when the throttle butterfly is partially closed. Fuel is drawn from the mixing chamber and it flows through the passages until it exits inside the throat of the carburetor via the 2 holes. As the throttle is opened more air flows through th...

#8 is from a Kingston L2 carburetor. Holley G had an offset at the bottom and was put together a bit different.

I meant 2 1/2- 1 swivel. I think I need a 58 tooth gear for 21” wheels. I’ve got Model A wheels on an Overland axle with a T frame so I can make any gear fit. I just happened to have the one already.

Corey Walker

I’m building a speedster and have a cut off Overland touring body that this speedometer fits perfectly in a factory hole. I was wondering if this gear, 60 tooth 8 pitch, would be the correct gear used with a 1 1/2 to 1 swivel? If not which gear do I need?

Here is a picture I took about a year ago of parts I took out of a Simmons compared with the same new NH parts. The seat body is .030” longer, but I can’t say if it was original. It probably was. Then a picture of a Simmons with a new NH seat with only one gasket. It worked fine.

Ok. It’s interesting to me the variety of things different companies made. I’ve got a couple International trucks, 1947 & 1973, but the also had International Harvester refrigerators. I thinks Standard Speedometer also made the Standard horns.

Corey Walker

I walked into a shop to get a hydraulic hose made and the first thing I noticed when I walked in was the Johns-Manville insulation. I wonder if it is the same company that made speedometers?

It seems like I read once the V was supposed to face down to deflect oil to the bands. This one has the V down and it also has strips embossed between bolt holes to help the gasket seal which go down into the gasket. Mine has only a flat plate.

Somebody on another forum had mentioned using old Chevrolet truck doors for patch panels. They work well for the bottom of the body because they have a brake line in them already but not quite 90*, and the metal is slightly curved already. I know this isn’t a T body but it’s similar. The back doors ...

Aren’t the contacts in the original Ford coil boxes made from phosphor bronze? I know the repop ones are copper plated steel and loose their springiness.

The taper leaf rear spring with a curled leaf for the spring clip attached to to the frame, along with the 1914 rear fenders would make me think it is the remnants of what was once a car or a start at building that year model from parts.

I’m not sure what year this head is from but I put it on my 14 since it had a high head when I got it.

This may be a long shot depending on how old your distributor is.
