First post

Please help identify this steering column (#1) and the vehicle it was used on.

Length of column tube is ~ 46 inches.
Spark and throttle levers are about 11 inches down the column from the steering wheel spiders.
Part number 344253 and a 4 with a (triangle K) proof mark are cast-in-place on the gearbox housing.

Thanks in advance for your help....

Last post

Thank you for the replies.

I think Tadpole and Shannon have it right, being a 1925 (+/-) Chevy Steering column. Thank you again for your replies!

5WW and Speedyt, thank you for the humor and suggestion.

PS: 5WW, I'll post the 2nd steering column in a bit. ;-). MT5.

Make sure that your vehicle's charging rate is appropriate for the battery you use, and make sure any battery charger or maintainer that you use is functioning correctly and appropriate for the application.

Batteries do not like to be deep-discharged or allowed to sit for long periods at a low state of charge.

Batteries can suffer serious damage...

A wooden box could be built to the size of the Ford battery, then the Optima battery set in it and potted in place with expanding urethane foam. That would allow clamping it firmly.

The restoration of my 1927 coupe is underway. I will post photos as it proceeds. Hope you will find them interesting. I have 27 photos to post now. Can I include all of them in one post? Any suggestions on how best to do this and how to continue to record the restoration over the next several months?

Part of the fun of keeping an old car is being able to make needed parts for it. Touring and maintenance have kept me busy and I haven't had to make anything lately. I thought some parts I made years ago might be fun to post now.
When the nice repro E&J burners were only $85 I decided to try to make some from scratch. Here is the post from 2012:...

WTB: Stevens Sea Lion and Arbors

A fellow T Ford hobbiest recently purchased this Stevens Conrod Alignment Fixture. However it is missing the sea lion and arbours.

Does anyone by chance have a sea lion, arbours or both spare?

Thanks Simon

Last post

You can avoid making multiple mandrels for different sized/makes of rods by milling the end of a mandrel square, and adding a slight bevel on the corners. our Repco/Warren and Brown rod fixtures come with just three square mandrels. These three will cater for big diesel engine rods, down the the small model T rods.

I am currently in the process of getting my carb fine tuned and am sealing my very old float but also want to be sure I am running it off of the right settings.

Last post

Bryce; I've done maybe 7-8 of the U&Js and the first one had no float (just the hinge). I bought the black float material from Langs but without knowing the correct dimensions, made a float that was way too thick, like around 5/8-3/4 thick. I set it so the top was level with the body when inverted but had a too lean mixture as the size of the...

If you can only find the cover and catch screen (seem to be more of those out there), you might think about just plumbing it into the side of the pan. That is what I am going to do. Think Chaffin's was making reproductions of them?

The reproduced arms have an 11/16 fine thread. They would not screw in and when I looked into it, the area where mine screw into are either 1/2 or 5/8 coarse. (I dont remember which)
