  1. We get all our ignition parts from John hart. Reasonable, has everything, and fast shipping. Checked with him and he has your goods. 315 935 7212
  2. Good afternoon. We are in need of an Auburn 6 cyl block or complete engine. It is a continental model 28l. We would be interested in any model 6 cyl continental or lycoming engine that would fit. Thank you, Patrick
  3. Curious if u have any around 1984 Subaru parts, or know of anyone that does. My daughter ( 20 years old ) is needing some body parts for her restoration project. Thank you, Patrick
  4. Good afternoon. I was wondering if your engine was still for sale? Thank you, Patrick 315 663 1569
  5. Progress has been very slow. No we haven't found a valve cover yet. Worst that happens is we can modify a modern one off of an industrial engine that we can make work. To have one metal printed was astronomical. We also have the option of just making a sheet metal one. The odometer shows 45k. Who knows? I will say the interior is absolutely super nice other than some moth holes. It also has the original carpeting in the front and back. Also another testament of its easy life is that the clutch and brake pedals don't show any appreciable wear. I don't have any plans on tearing it down any further unless needed. We'll see how it sounds and runs. I did talk to the gentleman with the suburban version a couple of weeks ago. He still owns it and we plan on meeting up sometime as he's only about 60 miles from us. A real site to have happen if it does. . .
  6. Hello! I wanted to apologize to all of you for not acknowledging your responses on my prior posts. I am not the most technologically advanced (lol) and it is very difficult for me to get on here and attach photos so I have to wait for my daughter, however, they are appreciated. Attached are updates from our most recent purchase of the 1926 Locomobile Junior 8. My father had been looking for a Locomobile for quite some time but couldn’t afford the Model 48 of his dreams. We stumbled across this gem a while back and decided it was a go. My son, father, and I couldn’t wait for her to get delivered. She arrived around October of last year and we were so excited we stopped mid-day to get her unloaded. (Ignore the work clothes, we were ready to get started). It has been slow going due to us working full-time at our machine shop and taking care of my mother, who recently had a stroke and needs round-the-clock care. I apologize for the number of pictures, as previously stated, it is hard for me to upload consistently. As you may be able to see, this car was not running upon delivery and has needed a lot of care. We quickly discovered that the valves were stuck and in the process of freeing them, one of them broke. In order to repair, we needed to pull the front head but decided to pull both due to wear. We are working on making valves at the moment and rebuilding the head, a large part of our business. Unfortunately, this is a case of the shoemaker's kid. Even though mechanical problems have arisen, her interior has not faced the same wear. She has been very well taken care of, as shown through her original interior and paint. Other than the window handle dilemma (pot metal) that I will explain more later, we have no complaints. The trunk was not intended to be used on this car, my son and I bought it for my father to use on another early car. We tried it out on her but quickly realized it was a no-go. I apologize again for the lack of responses and will try to be more consistent with updates and get my daughter to upload photos more frequently. Thank you for your time and any advice you have given.
  7. Good evening. My friend John hart sells early ignition parts. He hasn't ever not been able to come up with qhat we needed. His number is 315 935 7212. He is in upstate ny. We also have a 26 junior 8. Do you by chance have the electrical cover that goes on the firewall. We are also looking for a valve cover. You can give me a call sometime if you want to. Good luck, Patrick 315 663 1569
  8. Good evening. We are wondering if anyone has or knows of a paint code for locombile engine green. It is for our 1926 junior 8. None of bill Hirschs paint samples are even close. We don't have a good sample to send in to color match. Typical model a , caddy, Packard, etc are way to dark. It doesn't have to be a perfect match, just something close as we're only painting the heads . Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Patrick 315 663 1569
  9. Yes it is a want ad. My father had listed it in the wrong section. Sorry for the confusion. Patrick
  10. Hi Pete. Patrick reeve here. Could you give me a call sometime about your pump. We might be interested. Thank you, Patrick 315 663 1569
  11. Here is a picture of the valve cover with a can for reference in size. I haven't had a chance to follow that thread yet due to a lot a family business giving me very little time, but I plan to do it. Thank you for your interest and help in finding us one of the parts to start completing this car.
