1928 Essex

At Hershey this year we had a Hero of WW2 at 100 years and 8 months of age. 50 years ago we met, both lived in Michigan then, and have attend it together ever since. He now travels from Sparta Tenn. James Sutcliffe.

If you are q10@XXXXXX I send a note on 10m26-2022

I have 1929 Essex Marvel V carbs and parts. Will have to derermine just what you need, percisly. If you call leave message, if I'm out. Michigan 517-2 six 3 - 3 six six 6.

Thank you, for presentations and visuals of the various club functions. I find it interesting to see vehicles from other places, which we wii never see here, in USA

THANK YOU FOR ALL THE PICTURES, DROVE BY THERE ON THURSDAY, BUT COULD NOT STOP. FROM THE HIGHWAY, LOOKED BUSY

Thank you for the step by step process. I never knew why or how the reflectors on my 1930 car were so bright. But the car was apparently well cared for.

Charging batterys connected in parallel with one low or old battery and one newer one can leave battery in best basic condition under charged, and damaged. I seem to reclall a class many years ago.

Thank you for both RIDES !

Lots of frustrating options: find wire wheel brake drums, that fit your axel and shoes. then find wire wheels & bolts. ////////////////////////// find some one who has WW brake drums and measure thickness, to compare to you wood wheel brake drums. You might add a donut ring to your wood wheel drums that can be drilled / tapped to mount you newly chosen wheels. //////////////////////// This is very simplistic, but may start you thinking process. ///////////////////////// I have expirenced this in the past and am now thinking of this for the one rear wheel drum needed to mount a wire wheel on my car. ////////////// Best wishes to you, I will be searching Hershey for the impossible, as this is my 59 th year there.

HUDSONS INTO 40's

Cant wait to see the list

Looks like one I have in an Essex. Motor exhaust pipe connection supplies heat. Neat looking but carbon monoxide leaking into car is dangerous. I suspect it could require a lot of driving time to generate enough sensible heat to help.

I would like to hear more facts about this topic, so present a view of what I had heard and what I did. ////////////////////// There were questions last year, about location and timing to use scooter bug rentals. I did not hear actual results, so perhaps some more info will be helpful. //////////////////////// Recall that handi cap parking west of Giant center in green field. Scooter bugs were in red field near stadium. A long way to walk to get to them and then return them using HC parking. The pick up time each day was 8am and return by 5pm, so they could be charged up for next day. ///////////////////// With hearing these discussions about this I rented one and brought it with me. Can some one correct me and advise us of this year operations?

Excellent, I find that type of source the best. It took me a while to find my AC G10's. Keep checking on ebay and type in AC K12 spark plug on google, I got leads that way. Good hunting Hans

I looked up 1932 Pontiac HC AND 1933 Std. C, AC 46 converts to J11 1932 Std. C. and all others 1934 thru 1942, 1946. AC45 converts to J8 What is you soutrce fo plugs K11 or 12? used in your car, in owners manual? //////////////// ////////////////// AC chart shows K 11 and 12 conversion to Blue Top 47 ////////////////// my charts show 47 is a very hot plug. other conversions are: Champion J11 Autolite A9 then A11 Edison 52 /////////////////////////////// note, old origional plug shown as J5 and conversion to J11

K11 and K12 both convert to AC Blue Top 47

1930 ESSEX LISTS SPARK PLUG AS G 10. MANY OTHERS DO NOT

not 1929. earlier than 1927 Many sold by various auto suppliers, I have some with their names on price stickers still inside hubcap. some few have stamping in side "Hudson" Lot of folks think their favorite car co made every single part on the car................we know better.

I am working on determining the period correct spark plugs for my Hudson built vehicles. From my searching it appears to me Hudson primarily used AC spark Plugs for some time starting about 1927 when switching from Bosch starters/generators to AC as supplier. ////////////////////////// AC specification chart of 1924 to 1942 has all Terraplane 1932-33 AC46 or Titan 3 ////////////////////// Later AC Chart spark plug listing shows Passenger cars 1924 -1946. Terraplane 32-33 AC46 or Titan 2 ////////////// AC Heat range chart of the LINE PRIOR TO 1937. ( AC 46 Equal to K-9, KL-9, K-10. earlier plug numbers) AC listing showes K9, K9l and K10 equak to AC KK ////////////////////////// ANOTHER LISTING shows Terraplane 1932-33 all regular heads OLD PLUG J-7 new PLUG J-8 Terraplane 1932-33 all aluminum heads OLD PLUG J-9 ( long reach ) NEW PLUG H-10. ///////////////////////// 1949 Champion heat range chart, new number J-11 formaly J-5 //////////////////////////// A Champion cross reference showes AC46, C46 equal to Champion J11 ( apparently a much later plug ) /////////////////// Oldest listing has Terraplane 1932 -33 using K9 with KK noted as a universal line of plugs. Result for likely period correct spark plug likely may mean looking for K series K9, K9l (long) or K10 spark plug. Or. plug KK ///////////////////////// In addition, there is info on Essex wires for 1929 being 10mm dia, rubber coated spark plug wire, no cloth covering. I was able to obtain 9mm wireing at Hershey several years ago. /////////////// I hope this is helpful Hans

Congratulations

If you could list part numbers, some one may be come up with catalogue info and post it as sometimes happens in other situations.

They certainly do. I could use both long and short bolts and several lock washers for my cars. Will have to try to determine my sizes. Do you have part numbers or application catalogue? Thank you. Hans
