Terry Thanks for the also very thoughtful reply and the practical information on applying the technology Art

Ed Thanks for the thoughtful reply. The head I mentioned is for a 1926 Pierce Model 80 (aluminum head) which is in rough condition. THe are a rare as the holy grail. The rocker arms are for a Franklin Series 10 Art

Has anyone used a turn key service to produce metal parts such as heads, rocker arms which are plan unavailable. The service would have to scan the part for dimensional information , use metal that will be similar composition and physical the properties of part and perform any after working for cleaning part for use. Also if someone had this done what the total cost range. Art

HI Scott Jeff Hasslen said that they used different rocker arm in the series 10 A,B than they they did with the series 10C. He belives the rockers as shown in my picture from my car may be from a series 10A, B. even though my care is 10C. It was obvious that the motor had be taken apart in the past Thanks Art Lee

Hello Does anyone have 2 exhaust rocker arms and 1 intake rocker arm for a 192 10C. I believe Franklin called them walking beams. I want to replaced the bent and welded ones I found while rebuilding the motor. I already have calls out regarding these pieces Thank You Art Lee

Thank You. I will give you a call Art

To Bob and Mike Thank you for your helpful comments Art

Jon Thank you for your comments. You nailed the problem.Compression was way off in 2 an 3 cylinders. Removed head (was leaking a little anti freeze at head gasket) and found both exhaust valves were sticking. Art

My Detroit lubricator carburetor has been sent out twice to two different shops for a complete rebuild and still does not work properly. It runs too lean and the lean condition popping is present. Increasing choke makes no difference. The car can not be driven My experience with popping carburetors on Doges with Vacuum tanks is that if the engine is not immediately shut down, the carburetor will back fire into the vacuum tank and cause a major engine compartment fire (this happened to my 1924 Dodge) Since their is no fuel adjustment other than idle mixture i can not make the mixture richer. I have dumped over$400 into it and have spent about 8 hours on it with my friend who is a retired mechanic 1) The car has been timed per Dodge Manual and does start up. It will not idle and will not run unless the accelerator is continually pump. 2) When running using the above technique , it will not keep running regardless of hand throttle control 3) The car once ran well but was not used for several year do to family issues Has anyone used the Dayton up draft carburetor where there is fuel adjustment I do not care if I am not using an original carburetor. I want a car that runs and run safely Art Lee Dodge Brothers Club Member

Thanks. Patrick is actually doing the machine work and Jim

I am rebuilding the motor on my1925 10 C and after having the cylinders bead blasted, tow of the units have cracks. Does anyone have or know of someone who has two good cylinders Thanks Art Lee

I have1925 Willy's 93 Overland (6 cylinder) with a pot metal Tillotson SE-4A carburetor. The pot metal is shot. Looking for someone who has owned such a car and has experience on what replacement carburetor will work on this car. Thank You Art

Don Sommers can make them. Your looking at$500 -$1000 https://americanarrowcorp.com/products/hood-ornaments/

Thanks Art

Thank you both for the information. I do have the spark retarded on start up and then advanced once it is running. I had never checked the timing before the fire. I did not remove the distributor but did find timing was way off using the static timing procedure in the manual (#4 exhaust valve) Have not got a chance to load test the car but it ran smooth in the sweet spot settings as i described above. I will check for the float level and then check vacuum leaks between the carb and block before working with the rack and pinion set up. Thank you for the help. I now understand how the carb works and thanks for the expanation Art
