Knob marked "Fromberg Inc., Maywood CA" and "Pat 2828557 has a 1/4" threaded operating shaft inside, and two smaller shafts... like some kind of puller???

Can anyone ID this radiator cap?
thanks

thanks all -
More stuff to ID: the 1st rotor here is long (approx 4") and strange looking. 2nd rotor is much smaller, and probably so generic nobody will venture a guess. Also an old wood body bracket 4" base, 5 1/2" height (was in a box left over from a 20's Fisher body construct). More to come.
thanks in advance

All very good advice, but it is freed up, and moves up and down about 1/4" as noted. It feels like it's spring-loaded????
-
Trying to get an app. ID'd. It was originally in a box of early Buick items I had.

I'm in the process of taking the head off the 1931 "A", and after removing the distributor set screw, I freed up the distributor body, but I can only move it about 1/4" up from the head, and it springs back in, like there's a little troll down there keeping it in:-? I haven't read about this in any of the how-to books... I have a wood wedge under the body that holds it up maybe 1/8" :-(

Found this in a box of misc. today; seems to me I have seen one before. Brass, 1 1/2" OD. :-?
-
Does anyone have an old WIX oil filter reference. I have several PC-81 cartridges, and wanted to find applications:-)
Thanks, TA

This is a NOS Franklin Die Casting Co. non-locking No. 108 "cap"...OD is 3 1/2", "ears" 1 7/8", ID 1 3/8" :
any ideas as to what it's for :-? It is heavy and chrome-plated.

I don't know if this violates the "one car" policy, but here goes: looking for what this stuff goes to...
Lister oil pressure gauge... looks to be teens or 20's
two cowl lights that came out of my box of leftovers after a 31 Chev job
one smaller cowl light
4 1/4" lens "DODAP"
2 1/2' face 12v fuel gauge "441197"
clock
speedometer
pics attached
thanks

Took the head off the 1932 and the exhaust valves look more like sombreros than the two replacements I had previously bought:-? Also had a thingy fall out of the head; looks like it would fit into an intake port, but there's only this one I found after transporting the head car to shop. And those two exhaust valves remain very stuck for no apparent reason. :-( Anyone know of exhaust valves like these? And which port the insert fits/foes to?

Re-doing the brakes on my 48, and the shop manual says nothing about removal/replacement of the master cylinder... just how to rebuild it. Any guidance before i blunder into this??
Also, my 1947 has a very noticeable vibration in the engine, with or without the clutch pedal being depressed. All cylinders fire OK, #1 has 60 psi vs others @ about 75 psi. There is no obvious knock or weird sounds. Had some pros listen to it, and so far no ideas.
-
Interesting, my first "old car" was a '31 coupe; bought in 1969 for $100., and spent 3 years restoring it... then sold it for a spanking loss:-(
-
Thanks very much... I guess I could make one. If you decide you want to sell that one, let me know (I'm in Suffolk).

Is there a reference that would date (ie month) the manufacture of a 1931 Chrysler CM6 ser# 6,536,927?
thanks

where is that picture taken???

You're right, very helpful, and I think I talked owner into re-joining AACA. They also rebuild fuel pumps.

looking for at least two 1932 Chev exhaust valves, hopefully a little less than Filling Sta or Kantor prices.

Thanks; I tried googling the patent # and got nothing meaningful... what's the magic:-?
