While I didn’t restore an actual car, I started with a chassis I bought for $75. It’s probably around a 1925 frame but the first motor I found was an early 1914 so I had to go with that. I started out driving with the later springs, axles and wheels but changed those for the correct ones. I got real...

I’ve had this carbide generator for a while but kept telling myself i was going to paint it before putting it on. Out of sight out of mind, so I went ahead and put it on. Now that I have to look at it I’ll probably take it off and paint it and get my gas line ran. It will be nice to have it there wh...

My grandma always said,”put it in the turtle-hull” which was the hatchback of a Chevette when I was growing up. My grandpa always pronounced coupe with 2 syllables, coupé.

The last pair of Liberty I bought said they were made in Vietnam. I’ve bought some made in Mexico. I think they’re the only thing I’ve ever bought that said “Made in Russia”

My cousin gave me a pair of blue jeans a couple weeks ago. I wore them about 5 hours one evening and hope I never have to wear them again. I’ve worn bibs exclusively since I was in high school. I like Liberty because of the bib design. They stopped making hickory stripe several years ago but I find ...

I had lifters like that before and I put the feeler gauge on top of the lifter then added the depth of the depression of the lifter to set the clearance. I can’t remember how I measured the depth or if I guessed, it’s been too long but it seemed to work fine. On my 21 I pulled them out and ground th...

Somebody at some time made them with a straight slot for a screwdriver. Out of all these only 3 are the ones with the 2 angled cuts. I got a new one before that was cut wrong, the slot was in the wrong place. You can use needle nose pliers in those slots as suggested above then when it gets tight st...

You can turn the carb upside down, put the needle into the seat and spray soapy water all around it, then hold a little pressure on the needle with your finger and put a little air pressure to the fuel inlet and the bubbles will show if the needle is leaking or the gasket is leaking if bubbles come ...

Those Simmons carbs have one passage. It’s function is to add air to the mixing chamber itself. That same passage on an NH would be the one that goes from under the ID tag to the mixing chamber. You can see on top of the carburetor to plugs, one is to plug the hole where they drilled this passage fr...

I found this old 3 way switch on eBay and wired it to my garage so if I want to look out at my Model T I twist a 100 year old switch. I still need to paint the wall, I added insulation and new drywall since this old house’s walls are 1x8’s and 105 siding, no studs.

Corey Walker

I got one of those $850 money orders as well. The initial email, return address and name in the money order are all different. It was sent priority mail. The money order was purchased before the item I had for sale was even listed for sale.

Corey Walker

I never use a battery so before I found a coil box with a switch on the front, i ran a wire from the mag post to a house light switch to turn it on and off.

Corey Walker

I may try it, I think maybe one of the two wires is an output from the mag and the other is grounded through the aluminum housing that holds it onto the side of the motor. I just don’t want to zap my mag with 12 volts but it has to prevent that somehow or the battery would zap the mag on the mower. ...

Corey Walker

I had to replace this “voltage regulator” as they call it on my riding mower. Inside or underside of the flywheel contains what is like a mini Model T magneto. There are field coils mounted to the block and magnets around the inside diameter of the flywheel. This only serves to recharge the battery....

There are actually two separate coils in the one unit. They both knock down the voltage so the headlights don’t burn out. The bright wire goes to one and the dim to the other, the single wire goes to the headlights to be wired in series.

Corey Walker

Be sure and put in the cotter pin. I left one out one time and started the motor, I didn’t have a fan belt on it and that pin worked out and hit the pan. In addition to bending the pin, it made a tight pulley loose. A fan belt might hold it in place if it started to work itself out but I know I’ve h...

I’ve never worked much on Strombergs. I bought an LF a couple years ago to take apart and see what would entail, but I figured I’d clean it up and try it out first. I found it was missing one plug that made it run lean and pop, after fixing that I just ran it and never attempted to disassemble it co...

I think I was hit by the scammer as well. I sent my address so they could send me a money order and I asked their address so I could send them a carburetor. They answered for me to keep it until I received the payment. All their wording seemed odd so I asked if they had an address in the USA because...

Somebody had installed a single stack coil in my 14 motor so I replaced it with a rebuilt single stack coil. One of the brass screws broke so I had to remove the flywheel, I replaced the long magnet clamps with the later style because I think the longer clamps were made for the round coils. It start...

My grandpa, born in 1915, used to always talk about “modelber rims.” He must’ve heard someone that couldn’t read well call them that instead of “demountable”, or maybe he didn’t read well when he was the age those wheels were around.

Corey Walker

It could be a new item, I just saw it a few days ago but Lang’s lists the solid wire. I don’t know if that 1 each is a length of wire long enough to make the 3 separate wires or if you have to buy 3. When I did mine, since it’s not visible, I used some modern solid wire out of some romex house wire.

I did the last bit of disassembly on my rear axle. I was putting it off because I didn’t have a sleeve puller but I made one.

Corey Walker

That’s how mine is but the dimmer coil keeps the mag from burning out the headlights. It’s not used on the battery headlights. I thought he wanted to run on mag but have battery powered lights.

Corey Walker

The coil box should be an easy find, the combo light switch and dimmer coil may be more difficult. If you want to run the lights from a battery you could wire that switch to the battery instead of mag and not use the dimmer coil but you’d need a battery horn because one wire from the mag goes into t...

It’s the modern type material.

Corey Walker

The internals of the switch send the electricity to the coil box. Inside the switch functions just like the coil box mounted switch, the headlight function is inside the switch but a separate part. The earlier cars 1919-21 still used the coil box mounted switch with a combination horn button/light s...

The diameter of the mirror is 6”. I can’t figure out how to get it out. It’s held in place by a sliding lock ring. When you twist it around it tightens in the mirror then you lock it with the screw.

Looks like a brass body L4. Those had a smaller bowl nut than the cast iron version. It’s also missing one of the arms for the choke, and it has a late model spray needle. Those bowls will interchange with the early NH bowls (to the left) but have a different drain.

The offset drain NH’s came with long arms. Some of the earlier center drains came with long arms.

The casting was modified when the center drain came ou...

I had to stop and look at this. I was informed it was not for sale and it was the owner’s grandfather’s car that he (the owner) had built for his nephew or something like that. Lake Palestine, Texas.

Steve, it could be. It was on a 1920 stationary engine I bought at Chickasha, had a Pat’s Pending Holley G and a riveted hub fan with only 2 blades.

Larry, here are a few more. The later one won’t slide in, but it might if I sanded the rust off some.

I was on my way home yesterday thinking it was a nice day for a drive in a 106 year old car. Then I got to thinking, the majority of the car is from 1914, but I assembled it over many years.
