I don't know if it is a certainty or not? However, generally, the earlier 4 to 1 steering shaft has three concave sides on the three pin top end part. Later 5 to 1 shafts have two concave sides and one flat side.

Steve, unless the guy sitting on the running board hugging someone is gay, the fourth female (or male) is leaning back against the rear fender. Not a beauty like the two beauties toward the front, but does resemble a short haired female more than a male, but it could be a guy. Jim Patrick

...didn't they have the new next year's cars listed as of October 1st ???
Most years, no. The new Model T went on sale in October 1908 as a 1909 model, but in most years the new model year coincided with the fiscal year that began August 1. Bruce put all this in his encyclopedia.

I buy 3M urethane windshield sealer at the local Napa for about $20.00 for a caulking tube size. It will glue the window in forever! Bad part is that the tube is hard to re seal so you need to use as much as you can all the same time. This is the heavy black goo that modern windshields are installed with, very strong. I used some last week to glue...

I have one car that likes Motorcraft but not so much the Champion 25’s. So I put the 25’s in my 24 Coupe and it runs fine. 🤔

Thanks Dan. I was pretty sure you had some info on them. I am always amazed you have and can find that info.
I just need to look up the Patent that is shown. Thanks Again.

Lucky to have the elbow! So many are missing it and almost impossible to find. This is a good buy.

Well it sure looks like the Ford and the Franklin looked almost alike. I guess the potential buyer liked the way they looked. Wonder what happened in the transaction if any years ago. Guess we’ll never know. Interesting to say the least!

$75 plus the ride.

Sold.
Thank You!

Sent you an email
Thanks

Yes. Firestone. Used on some of the Model A body styles, in various lengths. 8 11/16 long would be 28-29 coupe and tudor models. Most were chocolate brown, but some may have been black. How are they for flexibility after so many years? I know Model A restorers that may be interested if for sale.

26-27 rear hubs for wire wheels are for a large drum rear end.

Lift the dots are usual in that application. You can even get double stack male fittings so side curtains can be fitted as well as the top sides. I have limited sticks in my stash if you can tell me what you require. Otherwise Dalys in Royal Park, Adelaide, can usually supply them.

Bob, I will check which one I will need. Ran out and looked, approx 1 -5/8 X 3-5/8 hole spacing is the one I would need. Didn't know there was a difference. The pan was on a 1925, but who know if it was original. If check is ok, send me a pm with total and address. Thank very much.

PS sorry was later in the day when I saw this. Been outside,...

I was thinking of convenience, I always have charged dewalt batteries around. If it was safe to use I could just throw one in the car for a spare.

A local t guy used to run a 13 roadster on a makita 9.6v battery on 1 tour he made it 1/2 way, maybe 80 miles, but didnt bring a second to make it home. Thats a normal timer T.

Thank-you, that is very helpful!

I have a 4 cylinder chevrolet cam turned down to a t block. It has a lift of approx .270. It fits into a t block and all lobes line up. $75.00 plus freight.

Car has been sold. Thank you

Do you have a 59?

If you use the pins from most vendors and don’t polish them the bushings will lock up. The finish is not smooth enough. Look up an old post from Herm. He showed this years ago.
Also check the size of pin in flywheel. As I said, if it already has had pins replaced the new pins will not stay tight in flywheel. Seen it before.
And ball sizing the...

Perry Keet, unless your local shop has 10 employees, they probably will never see osha ( until the first amputation ) There is a copper kettle company hereabouts ( I don’t want to put a bullseye on them) that is actually medieval. First time I’ve ever seen large copper knife switches turning on belt driven machinery. Scariest place I’ve even been...

The petrol tank cap is a fairly standard size and thread. A Fordson tractor cap fits, either the radiator cap or the fuel tank cap. A more ready source is the bung in a 200 litre fuel/chemical drum. Nowadays these are usually diecast, so any fitting to the bung would need to be bolt-in rather than welded/soldered.

I seriously doubt an NH will make 5hp difference, but a dyno test could prove me wrong. I picked up just over two HP when i went from a standard NH to a straight through NH on a 14-15 high volume cast iron intake manifold. The extra 5 hp came when a Z head was fitted. So many variables in any combination!

Information on the 490 is scarce. 3.7 X 4 bore/stroke, overhead valve, HP variously given as from 20 to 27 HP. No figures for torque, compression, peak speeds.

I believe that the numbers for specs of a Ford T and Chevy 490 are:

Model t - 177 cu/in - 20 hp
Chevy 490 - 171 cu/in - 26 hp

Measured on a dynamometer originally designed for the...

Here you go, Dan. A couple of links for anybody new to the Model T game:

Great job !

Held for Mark Thanks

Coupe is sold, Thanks .

I just realized it says “roaster” :lol:

I was able to post the full size drawing on Face Book and I posted it the groups I usually post to too. Long Beach, Model T Ford Club of FB, Southern Nevada, Southern Utah, Model T Enthusiast, and the MTFCI Face Book group.

I've also found the T factory number and the vendor part number too. And I also found the starting points of those radii...

Okay, thanks Dan and George........ Need quality hazmat suit, rubber boots , head mask and double rubber gloves and oxygen tank.

Sold, thanks

You are missing the rest of the bracket assembly.

That particular set-up has an additional bracket that screws into the door sill. Then, you attach the horn to the permanent bracket on the sill with a single bolt and nut or wing nut.

It's designed that way to prevent theft. It allows you to easily detach the horn and take it with you, if so...

A coil will operate without a capacitor at all for a short time, then the points will look like the photos above.

The last time I checked there didn't seem to be any points anyplace good enough for those coils.

For no more than you need, it is much cheaper to just send them to Ron or Brent, rather than gather all the tools an materials you need...

Another rattle point?
