Ahhh..the creativity of a motivated youth. I bet that T is on your mind when you go to sleep, and on your mind when you wake up. Enjoy it.

It’s not the end of the world, a shim or sleeve will work, or you can use an aluminum one that will tighten on the crankshaft.

The Big Three Swap Meet in San Diego was permanently canceled after the 2019 event because they lost their venue.

I must have been drinking, because they had the swap meet in February 21-22., 2020. I was there.

Lots of falsehood in advertising. I had to laugh when my half Italian dad used to say “ look at the crying Italian” when the crying Indian littering commercial came on...when I asked him what he meant, he said, oh that’s Iron Eyes Cody, aka Espera Oscar de Corti”

Well now, finally proof of what I’ve been saying for years. You must take your pants off at the end of the assembly of a model t to be authentic.

You have to strain to eliminate any particles that may have fallen into the mixing cup or whatever, because a particle will ruin a larger painted surface by spitting a bugger or drip into the surface. You want an uninterrupted spray. Paper filters are cheap, and they sell them at paint supply stores...

I assumed this cap is a high “ F “ 1913 cap. However, it has an upward sweeping top to the “F”, and the middle sweep just about touches the tail of the bottom sweep. It is an original cap. I’m thinking there were several variations of 13 caps, all with high F, but with different stamping and sweeps ...

I have painted everything with the harbor freight el cheapo gun. They spray nice and the price is right.

There was many similar makes out at the time, it looks like an early Leland brand maybe. There should be a key number on the key hole, and maybe a lock type stamped into the brass.

I suppose fouling was a common problem, hence the development of all kinds of accessory gizmos that aid atomization of the fuel. Most of these gadgets look like a steel gasket with a fine mesh of swirling design cut in the center. http://www.mtfca.com/discus/messages/179374/201228.html?1301424727 8C...

“The splash pans & hood are necessary to make a low pressure compartment and the louvers aid, not only as a method to expel the air but their shape also creates an external low pressure area pulling the air out of the engine compartment.”

How does that theory relate to early Ts with no hood louvers?

ThreePedalTapDancer

It was used to adjust brakes on late 20s Oakland type vehicles. Not sure how it works, but I’ve seen the tool mentioned before.

I remember reading someplace how the repo felt gasket is too thick, and can cause you to crack or break the corners on an aluminum hoggshead when tightening, not sure if this was a problem with the steel covers?

ThreePedalTapDancer

I believe they are attached by screws. If the screws have pulled loose, remove the brackets and glue a coupe of toothpicks in the holes to build up the bite for the screws. It should tighten up and hold fine. It’s a common issue that can be easily fixed.

Depends where the package was routed through. I was told by a postal worker that they have had mail trucks stolen, vandalized, and the contents looted in some riot prone areas. The stuff get recovered, and put on the back burner until it can be sorted and rerouted to its destination.

Molasses will pit some cast iron surfaces, and engine blocks once removed from the molasses were pitted, needing resurfacing. Same with brake rotors, they come out derusted, but with severe pitting. Depends on the makeup of the cast iron I suppose.
