Re: Topsy turvey-Old Phptp
Looks like a T door handle and there is a hinge just below the roof line, I would guess after 1920 or 1921.

Re: Can anybody ID this bar clamp?
It is a bench top drill. I have one all most exactly the same except, I would have to check, mine has feet. The wood was placed against the movable backstop and drilled by turning the crank to spin the bit and the hand wheel is the feed. Not sure that it is missing any parts, was more then likely he...

Except for the references to the Synoski winner and lens, everything shown so far is common for US cars and is not an indicator.

Untill one of the guys from up north chime in, the only difference might be; instead of stamped Ford they might have a Clasco stamp, but do not know for sure, just a wild guess. Other then that they should be the same. I don't recall seeing any cars from up north or other countries that had differen...

Ya should have just installed a zerk fitting and pumped it in. Would not have to removed it when done. Empty should be the good part of a tube of grease to fill. You need to shoot a little in the small cup on the drive shaft just to be safe, it greases the bushing. 13 caps full, not even getting clo...

In the mean time and if you want to drive the car, two 3/8 X 1" to 1-1/4" fine thread bolts with lock washers will work fine. I have used them like that in the past and do not recall having any issues.

In the Model A world, loosing weight off the approx 63lb flywheel (36 vrs 63), you gain acceleration and top speed but lose at the bottom end, easier to stall.

Re: HELP!!! SHOULD I USE A WATER PUMP??
I have read in the past that using distilled or pure water with a neutral PH, it will leach from the surrounding metal till it reaches a PH in balance with it's surroundings. So any deposits on the inside will contaminate the liquid. Which may or may not be a good thing.
