Wow, dig the double whitewalls! -

Please ID the 90's 6 volt electric fuel pump.
hook replied to edinmass's topic in General Discussion
It's not the individual that disregards safety or risks his life or equipment by a careless or stupid act that is the problem. It's the innocent people that he endangers and causes harm to. An inertia switch is not like seat belts, or crash helmets that the failure to use only has to do with the individual. -
ME TOOOO!

My first car was an antique. It was 30 years old and I was 15. By the time I turned 16 I had that old 1930 Model A Ford running and ready to raise hell with. Which I did! I thought 30 years was really, really old for a car and for a person too! My, my how my attitude has changed!!!!!!

That's good, but what if something happens that prevents you from being able to operate the kill switch? -

Please, for your sake and everyone else's install an inertia switch in line with the pump. It's a small price of insurance that will stop that pump in a collision and help prevent a hot time for everyone!!!! -
Show some pictures of your unique car keys
hook replied to West Peterson's topic in General Discussion
That may be true with 3D printers. However, my Mercedes key head is 14K gold. Now-a-days with 3D printers and artificial intelligence I'm not sure if I'm real or not! -
Show some pictures of your unique car keys
hook replied to West Peterson's topic in General Discussion
I don't think the question about showing your unique car keys said anything about having to be original issue by the car manufacturer. The Olds key is great. -

naw, don't worry about it. The only foolish person is the one that doesn't seek knowledge.

Duryea is the name of the builder of the first car in America and the name of the Automobile on the emblem. It was not a town name.

The last time the old emblem was used on the Antique Automobile magazine was 1951, Vol 15, No. 2. From then on the new emblem was used. This was printed in Antique Automobile 1951, Vol 15, No. 3. "Improved AACA Emblems The changes made in the AACA emblem have made it authentic and more attractive. Many favorable comments have been received. These changes first appeared in the beautiful new AACA decals designed by Photographic Editor Don McCray. The styling of the letter U has been improved and no longer looks like a V. The Duryea Chicago Race Winner of 1895 now has the correct pneumatic tires on wheels of the right relative size and with the original number of spokes. Every effort has been made to reproduce the original photograph of this famous car. The new and smaller 41^" bronze car emblem ($2.50 postpaid) and the cloth emblem ($ 1 .0 0 ), also of the improved design, are now being shipped on all orders." A little touch of history. The first time the LOGO appeared in Antique Automobile was 1939 Vol 3, No. 2. Antique Automobile was at that time a mimeographed produced publication I believe.

Sure thing. Glade to help. It has four pages. Page one is the outside cover which is in my original response. I reprinted page two and included it with page three and four. The file is too big to print all four pages and rather than reduce their size and make them a little harder to read I left them alone. Now you can go sparking all over town!!!!!

Thanks West. From the number of spokes, the carriage top and the "V"s it looks very primitive. Also, something worth keeping and mounting on that very special car!! Bill

I think what you have is before the 1960's. In fact, I think what you have may date back to soon after the AACA was founded in 1935. Notice the "U"s on the emblem are "V"s. and the general detail is not sharp. I have attached an AACA emblem I purchased in the late 1960's. I would suggest contacting the AACA for their help.

Yes, I guess it has to do being proper and not offending anyone or group. Here's what it used to be a few years ago and of course many years ago before Permatex it was just Indian Head in a glass bottle.

1954 photo's, 1920's? air cooled Holmes Sedan

Right you are, However, in salvage items only, I would say the most valuable item in the piano is the cast iron sound board plate.

Most British cars had cranks for setting points and timing and adjusting valves. I think the 30's - 40's US cars used it for the same reason. There is nothing wrong with Lucas! You just have to maintain the smoke level.

Falling in the garage alarm (It's hell to get old)
hook replied to Leif in Calif's topic in General Discussion
What's really hell, is realizing you're the same age as old people!!!!!! -
If you think that a torque wrench is the answer to making all the nuts (heads to cylinders and cylinders to crankcase) even tightness, you're right. There are many different ways to accomplish this even when a socket or box end wrench won't fit. In the photos you will see an adapter that allows you to use an open end wrench as an extension to a torque wrench.

You would definitely need to check overhead road clearances.
