good to find out what this thing really is. as for the rocker arms they seem to be not 1:1 but, maybe these are not the right ones.

here are a few pictures of questioned head, as you can see the valve cover says Frontenac, which fits the head perfect, the exhaust manifold says Roof 8, and fits the head perfect, but the head is supposedly a Rajo, so what is the correct item manufacture. I really need a rocker arm for this engine ...

Norman, here are a few pictures to verify it IS a model T Kevin, it runs great with those carbs. no stumble when you throw the ears down,smooth idle, all in all runs really good. if you leave the hood on it, you would never know it has that engine in there other than the 4 inch exhaust pipe and a ve...

well the outside handle option is not going to be a good one. We have the valance panels that are about 8 inch's tall, causing them to hang down about 5 inch's below the frame. Now if we drill a hole in them , than maybe they would work. I will have to talk with the owner and find out his preference...

I have the privilege to be recommissioning a mercury speeder for a forum member and he has decided to add a ruxtell rear end. my question is where have you fine owners put the shift handle? we have a side shift handle but I cannot figure out how to mount it. being the floor is at the same level as t...

Brass model T custom speedster body, all wood, ready for prime. This was custom made by a professional wood body builder in Central California. The seats are molded wood patterned from early 2 cylinder Buicks. They are deeper and a bit more back rests unlike the small metal ones from the fender peop...

so if I did my math correct in my brain it has .375 lift , that's a lot of cam compared to a stock T at .250

'14 cadillac

this is the Herb Singe auction. they have a whole lot more than just this, he collected flashlights , must have had about two thousand. the family is keeping some of the cars, 1906 Lozier, a 1903 Curved dash olds that was restored by Herb and documented in popular Mechanics in the mid '50's just to ...

just talked with Jarvis, he was not aware of anybody trying to get a hold of him. he told me he will get a hold of the new editor and fix it.
Harold III

the 1911 mercer is owned by Fred Houck.. He has a knack of making all of his cars appear as "barn find". It was restored about ten years ago as a perfect car, then the judges told him it was not a real car but a made up one. so the next year he brought it back to the show de-restored as you see it n...

is ezmerelda o.k. with you doing that to her?... changing her dash?

well here is my 1912 40 h.p. case "tractor"

there are 35 serial numbers on the list of two levers, I know of one that is not on the list, so make that 36 known serial numbers. some are just engines and some are cars

yep 220,000

my cam is marked on the small end with 280. you have to have the hog head removed to see the small end

o.k. here is mikes phone....three19----four30---four995 from Mc Laren wheel

on the bias..i.e. at a 45 degree angle...that is, cut the fabric on a bias, then rap the bow.

I believe that Scat makes a rod that is model A on the big end and model T on the small end. I will look thru my notes to verify.
Harold

o.k. thanks for all of the reply's. I have found that the head is not a reeder (at least it does not say reeder inside ) but does have the same type of hole in it. I will proceed with having it welded up and go from there.thank you again for all of the help getting to the bottom of all this. Harold ...

well, thanks for all of the reply's so far. just got the head back and it was out .009 I do not think this head has ever been off of the block. I got the car last Christmas, and tracing owner history back, no one can remember ever looking at the oil or leaking head. Found a medium chocolate brown oi...

I have a aluminum head with the usual copper gasket and have water in cylinder two and three. after taking off the head to figure it all out, I found that the water passage in the gasket, between two and three is all gone, corroded from electrolysis? what type of gaskets are recommended for these he...

well yes, i should have posted a picture or two. upon looking further I do not think the generator that is on my car is correct. here are some photos[image][/image]

I am questioning how my generator is mounted to the running board. Mine has a 3/4 inch piece of wood under it to raise it above the ribs in the outside of the running board. perhaps the unit is the wrong size? (base to big in diameter)? I seem to not be able to find any photos close enough to see th...

oops, I guess I should have read the post that Dropacent posted more carefully, it does tell you to change the points. my bad.
Harold III

if you do change the rotation of the armature you also have to change the points out with the correct set, for that rotation. they made the points in both c.w. and c.c.w. rotation.

1914 Franklin..model G i believe. just finished up restoring a 1911 model g which is right hand drive. they switched in '13

well after rereading all of the posts, was it Feb. 1926 or July 1925 both are reply's I do not have the book yet, but will soon enough.
Harold III

well the serial number on the block and stamped in the frame are the same. this car completely original down to the top and upholstery. I am the third owner. i have know the car since 1952 when it was last licensed in Washington state. it was used in during the war as a bus driver shuttle to and fro...

so, which book by Bruce are you referring too. I would like to look up my car. it's serial number is 13261513 and is been in Seattle most of it's life, and I know we had a plant here. was hoping it was built here.
Harold III

please put me down for a catalog. the last one you did was fantastic. I would like to thank you in advance for your efforts on making these available to us common folk.
Harold III

well thank you all for the answers. I have most of the items everybody has mentioned, but was more interested in how do you or did you go thru the wood firewall. It looks like I will just drill a 1/8 inch thru the wood and stick the choke rod straight out of the dash next to the coil box. it looks k...

I just added a starter to my 17 touring and now need ideas of where to mount the choke rod inside of the body. I do not have a dash like the newer cars have. a good explanation and pictures would be great. thanks in advance

I seem to not be able to reply to a car for sale ad. unlike all the other forum topics..i.e. parts for sale, down at the bottom is a reply button. I do not see that feature on the cars for sale. what am I missing? I don't want to look stupid but maybe I am.
Harold musolf

brasscarguy just bought a new house and buildings and has spent about 5 months getting it all set up with the new shop. I should know, I am his nephew and have been by his side doing some of the work. He will be back on here at some point, but for now he is,as they say, up to his A&& in work.
Harold

thanks for all the reply's. I will see if I can get a hold of Mr. Parker and go from there. Thank you Dale for the phone call. I will post some pictures later when I get to the storage yard and take them.
Harold

I was lucky enough to get a wood kit for my '14 from a local member of the club, but have no instructions,plans, or anything else besides the wood. I am looking for some help on this and have searched the website to no avail. Where does one turn for help. I called Lang's and talked to two people and...

well only one picture posted , so here's the other

I am told this is a Russell motor, correct?
