Hi all,

I don't think this is a five ball carburetor but a HOLLEY #4150 used in 1910. Judging Guidelines Model T Carburetors Part II picture #4 and #5.

Just my idea.

Welcome to the hobby~! Glad to see another TT getting some love.

Mine has a Ruckstell and an overdrive - can get her up to about 45mph but more comfortable at 30 mph.

The thing is, the combination of overdrive and Ruckstell gives some good combined gear ratios when the Ruckstell is engaged (underdrive) and over drive high is selected, especially...

Ben Ostergren discovered a large cache of glass negatives detailing the output of a commercial body builders in New Jersey. He had some sets of photos made from these negatives, and he very generously gave me a whole set.
Most are of 20's vehicles, including many heavy trucks and buses. These are a few of the lighter vehicles. I have selected...

Far too pretty for my old gal!

Are you free Saturday? I'm about 2 hours away from you

When I was newsletter editor of our Phoenix Model T club in the 1980's, I wrote a strange but true type of article about early automobiles, focusing, of course, on Fords whenever possible. If I recall the year correctly as being 1902, there were only two cars in the entire state of Kansas, which at the time was still a wild and wooly western...

Ant thoughts about a bit of anti-size on the retainer positions headlight and/or reflector

I would think it unnecessary. Those locking points aren't under serious compression, like the threads of a nut and bolt. Now, a thin bit of grease around the outside of that area might help mitigate any sticking. But with parts in good repair, even that...

You are correct on all counts, Maineiac.

While the rear cap is self-evident, the center cap is just a bit wider than the front. The front pretty much covers the saddle; the center one does not fully cover the saddle. As said, the rear cap carries the full thrust by itself no thrust is poured in the block, some do add it there too but the block has to be cut back to add.

I believe you gave me a phone number with too many numbers to text

Believe .... nope, definitely later boot scraper.
Distinguished by having the curved boot scraper lip (early style was simply cut straight/no raised edge), and, the boot scraper style was also longer than the early style.

You may wanna click on her name and email her through the profile pvt msg thing...but do email, NOT PM as it's' doubtful she's on here a lot to see your reply.

I was bragging on Jeff to my wife a few months back. When I was rebuilding my rear axle I had watched his 4 part series on YouTube. What struck me most was watching Jeff, older than me, skinny & wirey as he is, muscle the completed axle assembly from vertical to horizontal lifting it up by the radius rod across his neck/shoulders like it was...

15 - '16 caps headed to Art - wire caps still available - Thanks MTFCA !

I need the Stoddard Dayton radiator. Will they crate it and ship it? Sounds pricey.

Pretty sad situation. I guess the carts will go next, or will it be canned goods?

I like the idea of being able to have a little plastic engine that functions a little bit for demonstration purposes.

So did I, a forum thread began in 2011 about a model T engine model, was really neat.....but the mfg didn't ever bring them to market, checking recently the original company is now out of business. Don't know if any were really...

Well, now you’re just showing off.

I posted those photos on the forum back in May/June because I could not find any detailed info. I'm glad they help so soon.
Yes, there is a kit available and I recommend it. Will it solve your issue? I dunno.
Some of the hard parts get worn and you need to become a blacksmith, or learn to weld.
I learned that left and right sides share...

One nice thing is that we have tag and license vendors who contract with dmv (PENNDOT), which makes the registration process convenient in terms of travel time, location, etc. Follow the guidelines noted and you shouldn't have an issue. Importantly, you are NOT required to bring your vehicle in for inspection and vin number verification, nor have...

Here is their webshop:

I do not sell kits nor individual parts any more. The parts shown above were an effort to supply the need for replacement parts after Stan Howe died. As it turns out, there was no demand for parts and therefor, no need to continue production of those parts. I now only make parts to satisfy my needs on my own personal carb collection.

Sometimes I...

Dan:
i have poured several hundred ball caps ( 4th main) ... i have noticed 4 common variations ... no oil hole , 1 oil hole ( some of which had Ford embossed on spherical section ) , 2 oil holes and 4 oil holes ... the only ones with Ford embossed were the 1 oil hole ... possibly genuine Ford replacements for dealer use?gene french

Thanks for the pictures and the related information.

I have a list that Trent found for me that gives all the parts required to install a factory pickup bed on a car. I wish I could put my hands on it!

Assuming an OLD engine and assuming that you did NOT plane the block nor head, then maybe the best is a steel gasket with a copper coating.

Thank you everyone. Thank you Mr. Treace for the literature. I found very minimal information with the brief research I have done on these spark plugs. Frankly, very little information on any Sterling spark plugs for that matter. I do not plan on using them right now, they are a neat piece and I would like to find some way to display them, along...

That's a pig ugly none to old knock-off of what a TT should look like. Need to chuck the cabin away and start again, IMO'.

Wouldn't be without one. I have a well used edition in my garage.

The V bends are made using heat. It's a very poor practice for several reasons. As previously mentioned, if the bend involves 2 or more leaves, it will jam the leaves and prevent them sliding on one another, which they must do for the spring to flex. Another issue is the right angle or near right angle bend in the leaf or leaves. You will NEVER...

Michael,

You have a sample to copy so take a newer version one and make one.
Cut out a metal disk and weld it on, shape to fit.
Make sure to add material below the headlight socket to make it earlier if necessary.

While you are doing it take pictures and post it.
Don't be like me and just build it without documenting it.
Mike

Just updating this thread in case someone is reading this post in the future.

Once I got the hood former and firewall out of my 1915 touring, I had enough room to get a drill in vertically to drill out the two back holes on the block. I made a 1 1/2 thick guide block out of hardwood scraps (old hardwood flooring) and used it to keep the drill...

Indeed I do. Ive seen what running without one can do to an engine.

Thomas, I mistakenly understood from somewhere on the Forum that the Model A upper windshield snaps would work as a substitute for the receptacles with the collar for side curtains, so I ordered 6 to replace the ones on my car, but no dice. The inside diameter is about 0.75mm too small for the fastener to fit into, and of course, the base is too...

So after all the rough in with a rasp file, I come back with a conventional double bastard and then down to a single bastard file. Then I start with 80 grit, 120 grit, 240 grit, 320 grit all dry. As you can see depending on the cloth wheel weave and jewelers rouge used will determine your sheen. We are going for a German Nickel appearance. Pretty...

I just got back from a long test drive in my 26 Coupe after installing one of Scott's full-flow float valves. I can vouch for the fact that it makes a difference!

Many thanks. Can you send me regular email to discuss please

Put gasket where none was beneath float valve. Still got something to sort out with NH.

Auto Radiator Manufacturing Co. listed early and late radiators on this ad. I know I’ve seen the early radiator with that logo in one of the accessory catalogs.
