There is a strange little foot pedal in the center of the floorboards just forward of the seat that is no longer hooked up to anything on my 1915 touring car. What was the purpose of the pedal?

Here is a nifty , all mechanical stop lamp device. Hook up the cable to your brake pedal and when you stop, it’ll flip the plated cover down in front of your tail lamp, thus showing the large red letters, STOP. Ever see another? Me neither. $250 , tmorsher@icloud.com to make it yours. Thanks! 228BF1E5-730D-4167-A9B1-4EC890F99B74.jpeg...

I haven't found a reference explaining the different lengths of the bends, but I assume they're for different years.

Both rods have the later forged ends. References disagree about the year those began. Both rods are 54¼ long.

After finally getting my '22 running well and building a Touring body so my wife and kids can all go for a ride, on the first trip around town, the engine suddenly started making a loud knocking sound while cruising in high gear on a flat road. The knock (banging more accurately) increases with load. At idle it gets more pronounced as the throttle...

This must have been a good seller when published on 1907. There are many copies as low as three dollars on tbay.

I finally bought one. It was quick light fluff.

Not sure why it appealed…..

Today I picked up my engine after a transmission rebuild. As proof of life the rebuilder set it up on a Dyno and ran it for me, first with a Holley NH, then with my Holley G. I have a NH at home in a box that I've never gotten around to installing on the engine. Based upon the results, I think I will now :D

Sorry to keep hounding on certain subjects..... I bought this car the last week of March. I haven't driven it very far or at night. It has a 6volt Optima battery (I think).

I would like photos of the common sense fastener location for in back of the top iron. I have the front one in place, but failed to note the location of the rear one, if there is one located there. My touring has them, so I assume the runabout does too. How could I have missed that??????
