Vaporizer Display
After installing the Holley NH conversion kit from Lang's, I restored the Vaporizer and decided to keep it as a display piece. Attached is a picture. Also, if I ever sold the '27 Model T, then the new owner may need it if they wanted to go back to it for some reason.
I was wondering which is more common, the Ford labeled unit like this one or the Holley version?

Re: Vaporizer Display
That one, which is the Holley. The other one was the Kingston, which is way less common.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas!

Re: Vaporizer Display
The Vaporizer had both "Ford" and/or "Holley" name tags - Kingston Regenerator was a different animal !

Re: Vaporizer Display
Steve is right. Holley production couldn’t keep up with Ford T s in 1927 so an agreement was reached allowing Ford to copy the Holley design and affix their own brass ID tag.
I don’t know why I turned out this way. My parents were decent people

Re: Vaporizer Display
Some of the 1927 Model Ts came with Kingston vaporizers, but they were B-1 Gasifiers, not Regenerators. The Kingston Regenerators were a model made for the aftermarket and were advertised already in 1924 in the Ford Owner and Dealer magazine.

Re: Vaporizer Display
All fine, but was the conversion worth doing? Does it make any difference?
