  1. Many copper lines were tin plated in that era, at least speaking from a residential plumbing standpoint. I tin-plated the exposed portions of the fuel lines for our 9B, and while maybe not perfect, it's easy and aesthetically more consistent. The vacuum line on the manifold was apparently original to the car, and I wanted the others to match. Just a bit of tinning flux on the copper and some heat (no gasoline in the lines).  fuel.thumb.jpg.2cefa3f2d480c0aa3c5b02e23a234c2d.jpg

  2. I have been getting lots of water coming out with the exhaust (enough to rust the muffler) and was thinking I might need a sediment bowl on the 9B. I have a couple of spare ¼" sediment bowls, but was wondering if that might restrict the fuel flow too much. Does anyone have any experience with ¼" fuel line restrictions? Most lines are 3/8" OD with ½" OD connections, but the carburetor seems to have some rather narrow passages so it may not make any difference.

  3. I am finally having a local glass shop make some windows and wanted to know if anyone knows of a source for the window Lip Channel that holds the glass and will hook on the sill. Something that can be modified would work, too. I only have one rear piece of the channel and would happily buy any used ones, too. I also need a complete left regulator and a chain and attached parts for the right side.

  4. On a Series 9 carburetor, is there a proper setting for the throttle valve angle or clearance?

    From what I have seen, it looks like 0º or full choke is appropriate for the low stop, with the high stop at about 90º. It won't idle there at 0º, but I would assume the linkage would be set for idle.

    Any input is appreciated.

    9A Touring is probably the nicest looking car ever. I ran across the above photos when I was about 8 years old and have wanted one ever since. Anyone want to trade for a not-quite-running 9B sedan?
