On an recent install of an older rebuilt engine, found that the magneto was intermittent, cleaned mag pickup that had some debris, (known good switch) , but still was intermittent at speed showing only 10-15v (T magneto meter). So decided to “flash” the magneto and see if that would fix.

First time for me to do an in car. Chose the Tom Carnegie...

My favorite is the 8th from the bottom 1913 cutoff touring hauling milk. Sure looks very ‘used’. I hope it’s paid for. But the photo reveals fonts were indeed lost ‘back in the day’. Reminder: tighten the font thumb nut before this season’s tours….

I looked at the ad pictures. It looks like two different cranks.

That last photo in the listing is a different crankshaft, being sold in one of the sellers other auctions (common mistake). The other crankshaft is also from the auction, a no-sale in the first auction in November and sold in the latest auction.

Far less roadable than the one currently for sale.

Agreed, but far more authentic for the Purest.

T did not use ahooga horn. T horn sounds more like a goose.26/27 has special brackets.

Thanks for info

Curiosity got me to browse through all the parts books to see differences in engine pans. It appears that there are 5 variations.
Not sure how accurate parts books are
1. 1910 - 1911
2. 1912 - 1914
3. 1915 - 1917

Dennis,
If possible, I always leave my cars in the high gear position. That way, when the handbrake is pulled back, the clutch plates will turn freely and not be congealed together.

It makes a difference with my Armstrong starter...

Victor, I an guessing the original hubcap is on the left. It shows some roundness in the pressed Ford script. In contrast, the one on the right is crisp and even all over. I suspect it is not a pressing. It is certainly a great acquisition to complete a car restoration, while you hunt out a nice original, as others have done. Different techniques...

While Permatex Forma-A-Gasket is a wonderful product, today there could be a new issue.
It is resistant to Gasoline, Oil, and Antifreeze, but it is Alcohol based.
Today with alcohol creeping into gasoline there could be a future problem with using it on gas fittings.

If it is used somewhere that is exposed to gasoline keep an eye on it for...

It could have been the forerunner of the KR Wilson transmission jig that's commonly seen. KR Wilson is both embossed on the fixture and there is a red label as well. One side of the triple gear fits in the hole with about 10 thou clearance. The hole is recessed about 2 .
I'll change clamps and make a retaining plate. Should work fine. As with thre...

Another great Marietta swap meet. Slightly smaller crowd. Quality of merchandise was very good. Norm and Nelson, as always, put on a well organized meet. And the Coil Dr. modern fence chargers were a big hit. Looking forward to next year!
Thanks to all!

Yup, the joys of the 1912 when Mr. Ford decided to stop making horseless carriages and started producing automobiles. The pre-ordered bodies had to have afterthought front doors affixed, the leather strap holding down the top moved from a hook beside the radiator bottom to the windshield hinge, several different coils and coil box manufacturers,...

In those 56 years it has only been in the rain one time in 1982 when we got caught in a heavy rain storm during a long 50 mile drive from my apartment in Lakeland to my hometown of Brandon, Florida. It was harrowing when, in rush hour traffic, all the windows fogged up. When operating the windshield wiper crank and the throttle and spark advance...

From my experience: If UPS sends you any emails about forms for the tariff. DO NOT SEND ANYTHING TO UPS TILL YOU TALK TO BLOCKLEY. I screwed up and ask UPS a question and it messed up my delivery. Talk to Blockley first. Dan

Another good source is: Diamon wire spring company. You can download their catalog for stocking springs or have them custom made.

Yes Rich B et al.

Colloquialisms, why is it always colloquialisms?

It is installed standing straight up. The switch is like a horn button power to the horn and ground thru this switch. The terminal on the lower end of it is the ground wire the body of the switch is grounded to the car. The upper screw and nut are for adjustment.
There was probably a shut off switch for driving down the road and turned on when...

Following this with interest. I’m working on a similar early ’24 setup and would also appreciate seeing photos of the correct seat upholstery pattern if anyone has originals to reference.

That sounds like a beautiful and meaningful piece of history. I’ll keep an eye out and share this with a few collectors I know, hopefully it turns up. Best of luck with the search.

Looking to another great meet!

Lug nuts sold, thanks MTFCA, and Kurt

I will take them

Early firewall brackets spoken for - thanks MTFCA !

VinTin23, I will be bringing 5 wood felloe wheels. They are pretty good wheels ... Im in the North building. I think its building - A. Look for a 2021 Tacoma with a roof top tent. We camp on the spaces ...

Will do, thanks

Lang's is absolutely top notch. Then again, I'd say that of Snyders's & Chaffin's as well. We as a community are so blessed to have vendor's of such caliber & support. I've had nothing but excellent experiences with them all.

As for your experience with USPS, sadly that's universal.
2-3 day express for me means 4-7 days simply going back & forth...

Well, we almost have the trailer loaded. Will just have a few things to load the day before we leave. We are looking forward to another fun swap meet. I know a few folks going that did not make it last year. And everyone I know that went last year plans on going this year. .... If you want to help this swap meet survive and also to just help the...

Thanks for the encouragement. We are getting it, just was wondering if anyone on here had used one. The information here is great. Thanks Dan.
Any more information would be greatly appreciated.

So would those cars with green bodies had blue wheels????

It was nearly fifty years ago. Memory gets more and more tricky. However, my impression is that what was left of the wheel's paint (exposed to the elements for fifty years then), appeared to have been green.

I'd say the wheel is unlocked if you can still drive/steer the car. In the locked position you are likely not able to turn the steering wheel. It is more likely than not that the pins were driven in from the top, meaning they will have to be driven out from underneath if the quadrant will allow access. This presumes that tapered pins were used and...

It is located at 7525 County 12 Blvd. Kenyon, Mn 55946.

Looks too stout for a license plate bracket,
and too fragile as an engine lift leveler.

Kim,

The Model F body plans arrived safely today. Thank you so much for sending them my way. Please send me a note (e-mail and/or through the forum) with how much to send and where to send it. I think I could even send it PayPal -- but it has been a while since I used that.

Again thank you so much for helping us save that information....
