Acetylene gas lights - any alternatives?

Post by Tom Quigley » Tue Sep 28, 2021 2:36 pm

I would like to bring my 1912 commercial Roadster closer to original condition. However, the idea of using Calcium Carbide as a source of illumination gas seems daunting and messy. Are there any alternatives to the original set up? Is it possible to use either a Prestolite tank or Coleman camp fuel to serve as a more viable and workable solution?
