Mystery Engine. Need help Identifying
I know this is a Model T forum, but you are all so knowledgable, I thought I'd ask here.
My son came across this engine in the garage of the home he just got.
Any idea what it's for? What year? Value?

Have you ever put that silicone sheet stuff between your spring leaves?
If so, how do you like it?
I'm thinking of putting some between my leaves while they are apart. I don't want that messy graphite leaking all over.
Thanks in advance.

Need Advice on Taking My Car into Canada
I live in Detroit across the river from Windsor, Ontario. My cousin lives in Windsor. He wants to use my car for his wedding this July. Do I need to clear this with Ontario authorities? If so, who? Will my lack of seat belts be grandfathered in? Etc.?
Thanks
Thanks

Re: WTB Prest-O-Lite Acetylene Tank and bracket
Mario, just in case you didn't know: welding supply houses will not fill or refill a tank with a gauge on the bottom. If you plan on laying the tank on it's side it must have an offset outlet valve, not a centered one. It took me a few tries visiting local supply house but I found one like the one I...

Re: Clear coat my 1926 fordor body
Larry,
I see you're not that far from Hershey and the AACA museum.
If I were you, I'd contact a curator or preservationist at the museum and ask for advice. Some of these folks are experts at preservation and should be up to speed on the latest preservation methods.
Hope this helps.

Nice, rarely used, like-new coil rebuilt by Brent Mize. On Ebay. It's mine. I should have put it on here first but didn't think of it.
