Strong Site Feed Oiler

Post by Bryant » Sat Feb 17, 2024 2:43 pm

I have seen this accessory in the classifieds a few times. Is there a version that was produced for the single valve cover models?

Do you have one shown installed? I never saw nor heard of one like that. I can't think of anything other than the crankcase that might need to be oiled unless it is for an overhead valve conversion.

The Strong device was only made for the dual valve cover engines and was never continued into the single valve cover engines.

Thanks Jay! I don’t have one Norman. I just think there neat and didn’t know if they offered it for the later blocks. The picture is from a recent classified ad that had sold.

If that plate has a lever on the inside, that could be accessory pump to push the oil. Since it's complex, likely few sold, and wouldn't be also made later for the one-piece cover.

Info from Sept. 1920 Ford Owner and Dealer magazine.

I suppose it would be useful for going up steep hills to get oil to the front of the engine. However, you would also need something to get the fuel to the front too. The 26-27 solved that problem by raising the gas tank, but still needed auxiliary oiler to get oil to the front.
