  3. Can anyone give a positive ID on this unknown application water pump? It appears to have piping for an opposed 2 cylinder engine. Yes it is for sale.
  4. Obviously a Dodge radiator on the Overland frame. Maybe someone can say where the serial number is located.
  5. Very good 24" Firestone brand rim with bead and lock rings, type "C" and will replace types A B and E. This rim has 2 wedges inside where it mounts to the wheel, they are 1 1/4" apart. This rim was used later in 1910s and into early 1920s. Happy to answer questions, can supply more pictures, priced at $150.
  6. The reason your #1 fits the best is that it is the correct lug for your Firestone wheels. This lug was used without a wedge ring for the lug to press against, thus the extension back over the felloe band. If a wedge ring is used then the lug is quite flat. Attached illustration is from a rim book and the " symbol 155" is their designation not Firestone's. I may have some of these, let me know if I should dig them out.
  7. ZR4 magnetos were offered as plain " independent" magnetos or could have a choice of options, does your application need options such as dual or ?? Picture of your switch will tell. Also what rotation do you need?
  8. Not positive but am putting out there 1906 Stoddard-Dayton Model E.
  9. California still uses the date of first sale from the manufacturer as the year on titles. We do not look at the registration to determine the model year when buying parts!
  10. The tires, sidewall and tread design along with being slightly large, are a giveaway that this is not a 1914 photo.
  11. I believe that to be a Holley. Very similar to what was used on 1913 Studebaker 6 and no doubt many others.
  12. That style distributor cap on a magneto was popular on many makes of cars for export. Magnetos were desirable on cars in remote locations as the car could still be hand cranked or push started and run in case of generator or battery failure.
  13. Morgan, I think you do not have a ring washer under the plain bridge washer in your upper picture. That is why the bridge washer can turn. First picture here shows what you should have, either the plain bridge washer with a separate ring washer ( on the left) OR a bridge washer with swedged on ring washer (on the right). Second picture shows a selection of plain bridge washers, wing washers (made to be separate pieces from the bridge washer), and bridge washers with swedged on ring washers that were intended to stay together as an assembly. Plain bridge washers are intended for use by themselves, without any ring washer ( either as a separate washer or swedged to the bridge washer), on stems that are vulcanized to the tube with a rubber vulcanizing pad as in the upper picture in my first posting ( which is a modern drawing of reproduction stem and tube).
  14. Leif, Wire Wheel Corp of America located in Buffalo NY had acquired ASH and resurrected the name for a series of wheels made exclusively for Buick. Here are a couple of highlights from the Buffalo catalog.
  15. Morgan, My first illustration shows the plain bridge washer used with a stem that is vulcanized to the tube. That process does the seal between the stem and tube. Second illustration is a stem that is inserted into a hole in a plain inner tube. The hole is a snug fit to the stem diameter next to the head and is a stretch to get the stem head into that hole in the tube, ( see attached). The tube has no "pad" or reinforced section. On the head of the stem there is at least one ring formed into it to aid in sealing. The illustration shows a bridge washer and a ring washer, often they were made swedged together as one ( as in your pictures).
  16. Remy 8 cylinder distributor in nice unrestored condition, quite rare as it only fits these 2 cars.
  17. Andy, Must not be too many runaway truck safety ramps in Mississippi! Got a bunch of them here in California.
  18. I think you are correct that these are Firestone. A picture end on showing the cross section shape of the rings would be most helpful.
  19. You certainly will not expose your truck to the loads my family stories tell of, 2 tons of bagged rice onto a TT Ford truck and off to the railroad siding, here in California.
  20. I grew up on a very steep hill. After seeing the results of several runaways, I always set the parking brake and transmission appropriately, wheel turned into the curb too. That is even in a level parking lot and in the garage. Might be over-kill but works for me! Oh yes, I cannot recall how many times I have seen a car up on the jack with the owner changing a flat and the parking brake was not set! Even worse is the car up on jack stands and someone underneath.
  21. As for the grease cap,,,It is a press on not threaded. Cut a slot in it along the axle direction at your arrow. That will free it up and you can put it back on with a hose clamp to hold it tight. The lugs are Firestone brand, as were the wheels and rims. Not terribly rare but can go ahead and tig weld the cracked ones. They appear to be bare steel not zinc plated (zinc will contaminate a weld). The markings on this side are probably factory mold marks from the casting pattern they were made with. If the factory was having poorly shaped parts, those marks would tell them which mold to go find and repair. The other side ( outside) were plain, marked with Firestone name cast in or have Ford cast in.
  22. Bosch ZR-4 2 spark magneto, for a 4 cylinder engine that fires 2 spark plugs per cylinder. Good condition, makes spark. $2850 Happy to answer any questions, secure packaging for worldwide shipping, can supply more pictures.
  23. First pic is a Delco distributor setup with standardized magneto mounting dimensions as used on 1917 Dodge. Second pic is magneto on Fast 4 Dodge for export.
