  1. All the circle track guys require an impact shut off switch, they are cheap, and good insurance in case of an accident. I almost never run electric fuel pumps if I can get a mechanical one to work.
  2. Interesting Google search did not bring up any actual laws against "Free Wheeling" or "coasting in neutral". Many car makes from 1931 till present day still have versions of freewheeling. Electric cars are never in gear, unless they have regenerative braking...still not in mechanical gear. The early systems of overdrive used centrifugal force to change to overdrive, no solenoids or electronic assist.

  8. Fort Wayne Clutch https://fortwayneclutch.com/
  9. My 1933 Graham has free wheel, most places with hills never use the free wheel. The design had two advantages, first was better gas milage. Second, no need to use the clutch after first gear. I have never tried it but that is what the literature says. Most early free wheels were bolted to the back of the transmission so they had a separate chamber for lubrication. Graham introduced in Second Series 1931 and they were gone in 1934. Interesting, lots of tractors used free wheel into the 1960s for the same reasons. Have to laugh at the "below 0" numbers, nobody ran cars in that cold, antifreeze as we know it was not affordably available till after WW2. My 1933 Graham had never had antifreeze till I put it in 2000. My Grandfather just ran alcohol till it got cold then drained the radiator till spring, he drove the Graham till 1952. 1931 Graham Free Wheel shifter was in front of seat, most owners do not know what the lever is for.... Early 1900s: Glycerol is widely used as antifreeze, but it’s expensive to produce and eventually replaced by ethylene glycol. 1918: Ethylene glycol is commercially produced, primarily for use in explosives. 1926: Ethylene glycol is first used as an automotive antifreeze. It’s widely used by the military during World War II. Post World War II: Ethylene glycol becomes the dominant chemical antifreeze on the market. Propylene glycol and organic acid technology (OAT) are alternatives to ethylene glycol, which still enjoys the lion’s share of the market.
  10. Yes, First Series 1932 Graham cars, Model 53, 54, and 56
  11. You want to pick up a copy of this book, great book, it covers the years the Graham Brothers worked with Dodge. It is maliciously researched and has a extremely detailed bibliography.
  12. Fort Wayne clutch can rebuild your clutch and flywheel or send you a new one. https://fortwayneclutch.com/ Stearing wheel levers are reporduced Some broken ones What they should look like, headlight lever quadrant is on the outside, inside is the throttle quadrant. 99.9% chance these are from Butters. Snag an ignition switch lever while you are there, trust me.
  13. Sorry, in this forum we are all pretty savy... yes lots of accessories... Aftermarket Winter front (so the picture was taken in the cold time of the year, most likely winter) (also full length wool overcoat) Afteremarket Fog Light Aftermarket Horns Aftermarket bumper gaurds Would be interesting to see the rest of the picture
  14. The dark light is noramlly red or purple, red for police car, purple for funeral car. My Grandfather had a yellow driving light identical on his Graham, it might be yellow, could be the lighting.
