This picture was for sale on Etsy with no information. Looks to me to be Japanese military headquarters in a foreign country late 1920's or 1930's. Anyone recognize the 3 cars of the same make on the left? Howard Dennis

My guess is a 1930-31 Model A Ford Roadster with a 1932 radiator shell. Motor is either a Model A or B Ford with an aftermarket overhead valve conversion kit. Anyone recognize the make of the conversion? Judging by the amount of modifications on that Ford engine Robert was serious about his racing! Howard Dennis Just noticed what looks like a fuel pump blockoff plate so it has to be a Model B block. Like I said Robert wasn't fooling around!

Trying to revive a Boyce Universal Motometer and it's missing several of the screws that have the decorative engraved heads. Does anyone have several they could spare? Thanks, Howard Dennis

Pretty sure your 1918 is the same as my 1917. Here's the starting instructions from a 1917 Maxwell Owner's manual:

Chriscris, are you still looking for one of these units? Howard Dennis

Thanks for posting this. I've had one for years that didn't work and just couldn't throw it away. When I saw your post I dug it out and decided to see why it didn't work. The metal cap unscrews and inside I found old rusty steel wool packing holding in a broken bulb. I just got a cheap modern tester on eBay and was able to break it apart and tranfer that bulb to my old tester. It's not as bright as yours but it is functional again due to your post. Howard Dennis

Thank Goodness eBay keeps records as this purchase was made back in 2021! I was able to find out seller still has some for sale: https://www.ebay.com/itm/144735713351?itmmeta=01HSV023EVKZ1PQXQEQMW0DA90&hash=item21b2ebb847:g:Rk4AAOSwJ7hfHud4 Howard Dennis

1935 Studebaker Hood Ornament for sale. Not sure what models it fits. $165.00 plus shipping in USA, foreign shipping will have to be determined. Howard Dennis

Since I never got an answer to this I'll try again. Thought maybe it would help someone. It's NOT my auction. Howard Dennis

Matthew, The fellow I was helping hasn't started the car yet. I assume the car is still setup to use the Bosch mag his grandfather put on it. If I read your post correctly you are looking for a DU4 Bosch Magneto for your Hudson? Try posting a want add on this forum. Howard Dennis

Just wondering, does this eBay auction have the part you fellows are discussing? eBay item number:305396178495 Howard Dennis

What a great looking little delivery. Never seen a front suspension like that before. Howard Dennis

Tom, Maxwell front and rear wheel seals are made up of 2 tin stampings that trap felt rings between them. Mine were so beat up I found a modern seal that fit the axle tube bearing surface and had a machine shop make an aluminum plate held with allen screws to the hub. I also had them drill the hub for a grease fitting hidden by the hub cap. Howard DennisH

Years ago when I was a teenage NAPA counterman I had a Champion plug come in like that and saved it as an oddity. A family member came in complaining that his Jeep had a stripped plug hole but he had tapped it out using one of his his taps and brought me a brass fitting to show the size plug he needed. Unfortunately he didn't know plugs were metric and he had used a pipe tap. Remembering my odd plug I threaded it with a pipe die and saved his damaged Jeep head. I explained it was a one time fix that could never be duplicated but it did get him back on the road for a while. Howard Dennis
