Would this water pump actually pump water?

First post

I pulled this water pump off of a T I recently purchased and I have a question. Given the design of this impeller, could it actually pump much water? I didn't expect the angle of the blades to be so parallel with the water flow. I'm not asking if water pumps are worth it as that has been rehashed many times. I'm just curious if this one would even...

Last post

Hi Dan,
I'm impressed getting the bolt out is usually when I break the impeller. It looks like you have the shaft out. If it is smooth and tight you can
probably repack it with new, clean repaint, and use. ( At your discretion) Keep in mind the packing stuffing nut is also a bushing, also remove
all the old packing.

I’m re wiring one of my cars and I’m at the point where it’s time to do the headlights. There is the “high” beam wire and low beam wire. These sockets are not “clocked” like a newer 1157 bulb with a high and low beam filament. How does the high / low beam work? Does it make a difference which terminal you put which wire? Thanks

Pat, you raise a good point. Bright long distance LED lights wash out the colour of what is down the road. Unless you see movement, it is hard to tell if there is a roo or wild pig from whatever greenery is on the roadside. Everything looks the same colour. At least in a T, with incandescent bulbs, you have a chance and time to re-act.

The hole in the body is fixed. The shape of the door is fixed. You can juggle the set of the hinges and the striker plates to get a better fit within the hole.
You can also affect the twist in the door to make it better fit the body lines by fitting a twist bar if necessary. Duncan and Fraser used a 2 wide piece of 1/8 thick flat steel for this....

I've tried to get the measurements from from others with similar cars but the wood is wrapped making it difficult to feel where the wood stops and the metal begins. Can anyone...

When shiny brass is clear coated to keep the shine and turns brown in 15 years, what is the best way to remove the old clear coat?

Should the coating just be left off after polishing the light in the beginning?

Last post

While you are trying various solvents, there is always acetone and methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) the latter being PVC pipe cleaner. Both are a little more aggressive than lacquer thinner. Even lacquer thinners come in varying degrees of aggressiveness depending on the temperature of the lacquer for which they are designed.

Any suggestions now on how to remove?

Good job.
Here's a hint. Check the diameter of the clutch hub in 6 places. Sometimes, because of the tight fit on the center shaft, the edges will taco out of round, from a previous pull, enough for the clutches to go in tight.

A double Apco-style joint at the pitman arm would be ideal. It would require a special drag link with a socket on one end for a spring and cup, and use the Apco cap, spring, and cup on the other side of the ball. That would allow some limited shock absorption in both directions while providing automatic wear take up and improved grease capacity....

Another thing to consider is the location of the gas tank. All but the last two years had the tank under the front or back seat. If the gas is less than one half tank, maybe even higher on a very steep grade, the engine will kill and you will be rolling backwards. Some of the auxiliary brakes work well going forward, but not very well backward....

The windshield rubbers of my 1923 Model T are very bad and therefore I bought a windshield seal set from Bridhaven on my coast to coast tour this year.

I tried to install the side rubbers in the stanchions, but the new rubber seems to be too wide.
I tried it with Vaseline, I tried to pressure with pliers, I grinded of the edges… but it did not...

Hi Dan,
thanks a lot, that helps. I'll try it - pulling up through the channel!
And the lined side of the seal looks to the back of the car.
Great, thanks.

It looks to be a 9 leaf, Ton Truck front spring. The spring clamp may be from TT as well. As for the bolt, blowing the picture up makes it look like a square head bolt.
