    Distributor control on steering wheel

    in Studebaker, Erskine & Rockne

    Guys and Gals

    My old Chevys have linkage that controls distributor position for start and run, retard to start advance to run. My recent acquisition 1923 EK Touring is missing that linkage, located at the bottom of the column is the throttle linkage and the part that the distributor linkage would connect to, someone got some advice, or pictures of what controls the distributor? I have not noted a swing arm on distributor, perhaps my old eyes just do not see it.

    saw a pic of a big six that may have been 1918 or 19 and it had 7 clamps. I have 2 wood spoke wheels with 6 clamps front without brake drum so I am thinking it has to be from older rear brake only cars, when did front brakes appear on Studebaker. Also the rear spokes on this pic (1918-19) were the type that have a belly or round bulge center of the wood spoke, would like to see wire wheels on a big six.

    I have 2 1927 Chevys one 4 door sedan and a touring car, have disc and wood spoke for both. Much smaller.

    Sold a Zenith downdraft to a guy in NZ once that was for a 1910 London Taxi Cab.

    Ladies and Gents

    I have purchased a 1923 Big Six Touring EK. I am awaiting delivery. I have purchased a service manual and it covers 1918-1924 big and special six. I was told that the steel disc wheels are Budd wheels, what does that mean? The manual covers 6 years, are many parts ( like wheels ) interchangeable? It is a 7 passenger and I would like to add rear trunk and side mount. If anyone has picture of hardware and trunk size information I would appreciate any help. Any pictures of side mount hardware and mount itself appreciated. Has anyone fabricated this? Any clue on color options from factory? Does the big six in this car have aluminum head? Is that a weak point? What is the horsepower and cubic inch (353?). What year wood spoke would fit this? Any detailed pictures of 1923 big six wood spokes appreciated, I am thinking its split rim, any comments on wheel and rim size appreciated. Do big six wood spoke have seven rim clamps and special six have six clamps?

    Thanks
