Been a rough few years and I took a hiatus for some time but I’m doing okay and will be around again.

Hello all.

As I was not feeling confident with keeping my distributor (see here: I am now on my way back to the roots. I was able to get a 26/27 coilbox on ebay with four coils in it.
I disassembled all the rusty points and made some measurements (LCR-meter, L-measuring frequency was 1kHz).
Hoping to find out that the windings are okay.
But I am...

The visual impact of a Brass-Era automobile is so striking, it can overshadow the other senses, which is kind of a shame because the way these cars sound is also wonderfully unique, and everyone who works with them just loves the low-revving grumble of a long-stroke engine and the kisskisskisskiss idle of an L or...

Hi,
I bought a spare tire for my Roadster. One spoke looks bad, 3 others do not look good.
Therefore I want to remove these 4 spokes, to see, if I could fix them with glue.
Could you please give a hint how I could remove the first spoke without destroying it.
I think if the first spoke is removed, to remove the others should not be a challenge....

I'm about to start a frame up build and am need of a good ignition switch and key.

Let me know what you have.

Good Afternoon1
I am working on a '16 touring car. Frame off. I cannot find info on the reassembly. When I lifted the body off of the frame I found 1/4 inch rubber pads at the bolt sites. My main question is do the splash shields mount between the body and frame without the rubber pads?
Are the rubber pads on top of the frame or between the body...

The driver lost control of his car on a grade and plunged 50 feet to the creek below, June 29, 1921. He died three days later from injuries sustained in the accident.

OK. I have a silly question.

I have a '27 touring that I am putting new glass and rims on.
They also need the rope seal replaced. One side was missing the other side just peeled off.
What was used to keep the seal in place? Where they built facing up so they really didn't need any stick'em?
Any ideas would be great.

Thank you

Good evening! I rebuilt my '13 engine this past spring and had cause to pull it again to fix a couple of things (one of my own mess-ups and one from another guy).

So, there are a few rim manufacturers out there that will roll new lock ring rims, but only 1 of them makes the actual lock rings. They are a custom hot rolled steel profile that gets rolled to mate up to each rim diameter. 2 profiles are traditionally available, “heavy” for the larger cars, and “light” for our more nimble autos.

As my luck...

Hi all,
I've been driving my 25 Touring a bit and have to pretty much hold the wheel tightly all the time. I looked under the engine and noticed that one of the radius rod arms has a very slight bend in it.
