Bloo is correct. It is known as 'Edison effect" if you want to read about it.

"INTERNAL FIRE'' by Lyle Cummins is the best engine history book. Worth a read. It should be in your library.

Spinneyhill has given you all you need for info. These cans are so simple and work so well. Check the valves in the top very well. The valve seats can come loose from the top, seal in with Loctite. Just have plenty of patience to find that one air leak. Assuming a clear fuel line and fuel in tank . You will get it !

Atlas Tack Company 1895 to 1985 . Very hard to find good tacks today.

It serves me right for not being a gardener. Thank you for the tip.

classiccardatabase.com lists 1913 as "multiple disc, dry plate" If the case doesn't have a fill & drain plug, it needs a seal and washing.

It just cannot get any better than that ! Thanks to Jeff todays hero.

The Pierce Arrow Society site has a Technical Committee that will answer questions of all things Pierce Arrow.

https://www.modeltford.com/item/5055DIO.aspx This link is for a diode with insurcrions. A common upgrade for Ford T & A. Searching those forums bring many results. You can also add voltage regulation within the cutout housing. Positive & negative ground too.

What sort of trouble can one find in the back seat of a Studebaker ?

Russ Furstnow contact info in this thread. Comes recommended by MANY.

The PA steering box is a $2800 overhaul. It is MUST DO. I have seen the movie.

BY THUNDER ! The idiot has done it. I only hope this serves you well Mr. Wallace. Best Wishes, etc, etc.

I have a 1921 Dykes manual with a page on Premier clutch adjust, but I cannot get it to attach to this thread reply ! Damn the luck ! Faster would be to drive over from Pittsburgh and hand it to you. Find the Dykes manual near you. Jack

Wait ! What ? I thought I was the Idiot. This fellow changes his name and poof........he claims the title. Not just like that. I just wish Peter could fix me . Too much to ask, I know.....

I was looking for the fuel pump install, as I am staring at that task next. Ah well...............

No kidding ! That is not the oil pan , that is the clutch housing. The cotter pin is there to rattle and keep the hole open for oil to drain. Ford Model A is the same pin.

Does this ignition circuit have a capacitor in it somewhere ? If there is one from 1917 it's bad. It would go bad from sitting on the shelf that long. The cap should have a vent hole in the side to vent ionized gas buildup. I have to doubt the burn spot is liable to affect performance. Nice pictures. Your question is well done !

Tighten until the threads just begin to smoke. then backoff 1/4 turn.

GOOGLE aluminum honeycomb. Many choices of sizes and thickness.

It seems as if General Burkhalters' widow has decided to sell the car.

A wonderful puzzler ! Is the coiled tube threaded into the threaded tube with the nuts ? How could the nuts be used unless it came apart ?

Oh to be in Tampa now that April's there...........

I know. I know. APRIL FOOL ! Congratulations on a find and a story never to happen again.

No cast iron exhaust manifold ? I've never seen that done on an auto engine !
