Re: Kingston L2 Float

I think you have an NH float. They are the same size as the L4 float but the hinge is taller from the top of the float to the pivot point. The Briggs float is fitted to an L4, An original L4 float will fit an L2 but it is smaller diameter. An original L2 float and float hinge are available reproduct...

Re: What size is an amp gauge

I had a switch like it once before that had a key that looked like my crude drawing. It was a Briggs and Stratton key. I don’t know if it was correct but it worked. I bought the switch and then found the key in a basket of keys at a flea market, then I sold them and and am starting over but before I...

Re: What size is an amp gauge

Thanks for the replies. The switches are the same but the tumblers are different and none of the Gord keys fit so I’ll just remove the rivets and swap everything. I had a T chassis that I used the motor from for another car then I picked up what was left of an Overland touring car for $100, which wa...

What size is an amp gauge

I’m building a speedster and have an Overland Model 91 body. I’m going to put the T switch in the switch that fits the body. The hole in the dash measures 1 5/8”, the hole on the switch plate that I have is about the same but before I order one I wanted to confirm it would fit in the hole. I can fig...

Re: 1912 Holley carb F/S

It’s worth that if you have the inlet elbow. Lang’s has them for $95 but they only had 5 left and the guy that was making them died I believe they said. If you just need it as a backup then you could just swap elbows.

Re: What really made the Model T so Popular?

I think in rural areas the magneto had something to do with it. Where I live there was no electricity until after WW2 so a car with a completely dead battery would leave you stranded. You can simply start the T on mag and go on to town. There wasn’t any phone to call for a boost either. I’m sure bac...

You’re welcome. I like them as well. I made a clear mixing chamber cover one time so I could see what was going on in there. Here are some screenshots of the video. The last one it is flooding out when I pulled the choke.

Another money saver was the float hinge. At first it was stamped brass formed and soldered to a small tube. Later it was stamped brass formed to function the same, no soldering required.

Re: Holley carburetor evolution

There were lots of changes to the G, the spray needles were money saving changes. The top part went from the round knurled knob, to a brass bar, to a steel bar, all 3 drilled and tapped 1/4-32 and pinned, then the last simply swaged on. Usually the bottom of the needle seat can be seen in the inlet,...

Re: Holley carburetor evolution

They seem to run the same. The G is just an H1 with a simplified float mechanism. I suppose they did save money on the drilling of 6 holes, but the ones without the six holes have a stand pipe about 3/32” soldered to the top of the air bleed/drain in the bottom to compensate for the extra gas that w...

The H1 used filister head screws with a slightly different arm design, the Pats Pending the combination hex-slotted screws that gave way to round headed screws.
