Fella at SmokStak is asking about these emblems.
I figure if anyone on the planet (Keiser....... 😁 ) can identify them it will happen here.
Thanks!

Points should never, ever, look chalky or even badly tarnished.
You can check that the cutout coil is working using a battery charger.

As far as I'm concerned you can't go wrong with the 235 Chevy 6.
They never stop running unless they run out of gas.

A couple years ago I had a '24 car for sale.
I ran it through ebay three times to no avail except one crabby tire kicker.
I had even less success with craigslist.
One late Sunday afteroon I gave facebook marketplace a shot out of desperation.
Within 2 hours I got a phone call from a solid prospective buyer.
On Tuesday he was in my shed and gave me a grand down.
By the end of the week he was back with a friend and trailer, paid me off and bye bye.

The backfiring is being caused by a too lean mixture.
As I recall your car has the NorthEast starter/generator so I expect the foot starter switch is the same as was on my '24.
Removing that switch is no piece of cake but, in addition to the starter terminals inside, there is an electrical cutout for the charging system.
The points inside might need tuning up and, while it's handy, you might want to tune up the starter terminals as well.

Like these cars which have been parked for YEARS just as you see them........ 🤢
They are at a cul-de-sac off of a State highway not far away from me.
They are invisible from the highway.

I know only one person who has actually visited the premises.
The owner is adamant that none of the cars are leaving.
As far as I know they are Ford Mustangs.
If any of them are '65's that's a good place for them.

You must give the collector points for properly storing the cars with at least a roof over them.
There was a Thread a few weeks ago showing beautiful cars rotting away in the direct weather with no protection at all.

As Ron said, keep your eye on ebay >>> https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313.TR2.TRC0.A0.H0.Xclum+key.TRS0&_nkw=clum+key&_sacat=0
Check once or twice a week.
It might take a little while but one will turn up........that's how I got the spare I needed.
The best insurance for a lost key is having a spare.......which you won't need.......if you have a spare....... 😜

Call a tow truck operator who should have the tool/tools to unlock those doors.
By that time both should be one key cars.
The easiest lock to remove is from the glove box door.

It's just ridiculous this car didn't sell within three days of the first listing.......
Without going over the whole thread again did you list it at mtfca?

Isn't the 1912 Model 29 bigger with a 201 cubic inch engine? I just picked one up and am gathering information, since my knowledge of this period is pretty thin.
Yeah but the compression ratio was only 4.5:1 in the early days and was later reduced to 3.98:1.......

If one thinks there is little difference between resistor and none resistor plugs compare the "performance" between one of each on a magneto.

^ That's very reminiscent of the '48 WILLYS pickup my dad had.
It's the one in which I learned to drive....... 😊

Straight to the point: no

It would sure be helpful if the above question regarding single or double was answered.

Here is a rod-operated band brake set-up on a 1927 Studebaker rear axle. They didn't work well when it rained.
That's very similar to what the Dodge Brothers used through 1925.......maybe later.

This is the car that tripped my trigger when I was a young teen.
It was in the basement of the local Ford dealership in my small village.
The owner's father had bought it but it got relegated to the basement under the garage for many years until his son got it out of there and into the show room where it was on display for several years.
I stayed in love with it until I got my first collectible car at age 58.......a 1920 Model T Coupe.

I'm in America's Dairyland, Wisconsin where we have lost 551 dairy farms in 2019 after losing 638 in 2018 and 465 in 2017.......

I don't GET how everyone is scared to death of that aluminum block....... 😲
If we had operated that way the shop wouldn't have lasted long enough to go 3rd generation (me) and still going strong with the 4th owner.
So what if there is some oil? You cook it out and get busy.
My FIRST move would be to lay down a bead of aluminum weld and check it for integrity.
If that panned out it would be game on!

^ Hagerty works the same way.
I have 3 now but had more and it worked out the same way as yours.
The cars I still have are all licensed as COLLECTOR cars so there are very few restrictions.
