Adding a vane type electric fuel pump to my 50 Ford Custom
Graham Man replied to 50 Ford Custom's topic in Technical
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. -

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.

2 - 1929 Cadillac's. The red car is an ex-fire chief's car. Very Solid, may run. The second car is a very rare dual-cowl phaeton with drive train but missing many parts. Make one from both or get the sedan running and " hot rod " the phaeton. NO TITLES bill of sale only. Will not respond to " Is it still available ". Can help with local transportation. Will Split. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1301618500530256/?ref=browse_tab&referral_code=marketplace_top_picks&referral_story_type=top_picks

Fort Wayne Clutch https://fortwayneclutch.com/
-
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.

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.

Can anyone tell me the make and model year of this car?
Graham Man replied to MarkSD's topic in What is it?
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. -

Can't find identity of this 1930 Graham. All help appreciated
Graham Man replied to DrBanzai's topic in Graham & Paige
Should be on the frame rail of the seat, or close to it. Looks like the same car, could check the CA license plates on the front also. -

Hi All! New blood here with a '28 Chrysler
Graham Man replied to ECCO Machine's topic in General Discussion
The 1928 small six cars mostly used the same transmisions, guessing it is a Borg Warner should have some numbers, 3 speed, some jeeps used the same transmission into the 50s. It should be happy around 40 mph, guessing 4.70 ish rear end, one of the Chrysler guys will chime in. Beautiful car. -
I am going to go with original, interior is too perfect for a reporduction. I do like the unsigned dash...and the garage door opener...guessing it is well insured? or they just forgot the keys. If it were mine I would drive it, except I want the orange with white interior, watched one disitigrate into the ground when I was a kid, wheels and engine were gone, classic blue plastic tarp with holes... what a waste.

Close 1928 Graham-Paige 619, Big Six, Sedan, great car will cruse at 65mph all day The headlight supports give the 619 Big Six 288-CID vs the 612 Small Six 190-CID Looks like the rolled over truck hit the back of the Graham, the Graham roof is laying on the hood of the Graham, you can see the wood roof slats.
