The '32 ET starter had a hex protuding from rear of starter motor.
A pully could be mounted on hex extension, then a rope wound around pulley.
Pulling on rope, similar to an early outboard boat motor.
This was effected to start the engine.

3 of my cars use 20" rims.
At F markets I have found some with bumps on one side, to control slip on.
If you find one with proper width, the hole for tube air inlet may not line up with your spokes,,,,,,just drill a new hole and fill the other.
I have also had issues with a notch to help locate rim with one of the mounting bolts passing thru
Use that as a base, and adjust accordingly
Best wishes.

James R. Thank you for finding this vision of the past/ future.
Many of us lived and were affected by these things.
I still have drawings of modifications to 53 Studebakers, made as a young person.

Just trying to understand: your words.
a small can mounted on the firewall with a tube leading down and splitting into 2 tubes which appear to enter valve area just below the exhaust manifold. ( possible oiling of lifters )
The can appears to have a vacuum pick up tube and a pull out knob on the inside firewall
////////////////////////////////
Can looks like it un screws, to fill with something oil ?
Vacuum line inside of firewall and a pull out knob ( is knob spring loaded? it may be a pump method to force oil to lifter area? )
I'm having trouble thinking of vacuum line and its attachment under cowl ) Pictures?
More through placement placement of all "lines" to areas.

My Essex cars require the added cylinder add ons to each of the four lift arms. They are necessary to clear the running boards.
Use the frame only.
The front arms are quite close to rear of engine on each side.
Your wheel base is longer than my 115 inches, hope this helps a little. -
no front brakes, 1927 and eaelier
21 inch tire used in '27 and earlier - also 20 inch in '27
Hub cap '25 and '26 maybe earlier to '23 and '24

6 inches of 3500 lb mix, re rod, fiberglass in the mix, Thompsons water proof.......................10K two post lift, all well for years.

McCellan Blair of Indiana Penn. passed away Wednesday 3-22.
Mac was a family man, humbly proud of them all. .
He was a very accomplished person, seldom speaking of his personal accomplishmenrs. A true friend always willing to help and befriend others with his insights and skills.
His alter image as 32 Buick Registery was legendary, as was his service to AACA.
Camping with him at Hershey for over four decades was his gift to our group.

no pictures here / Starter with ovalized holes to make a different starter try to work. When the proper starter installed, found the flywheel gear was replaced with a thicker one. Thus the starter gear wont mesh, just grinds face of flywheel gear...........not to mention broken pressure plate bolts........opening water jacket cover - water cavity absolutely FULL of multicolored layers of dirt, antifreeze, and what ever.........well it is a project contuining.
