  1. Jon, thanks for the confimation. Rod PS just in-case I was to move up to a Zeinth or Stromberg, what would be a comparable model to replace the Carter 699s
  2. Akstraw, Thanks for the info, I've been trying to fix something that wasn't broken, your post has kept me out of the funny farm. I am greatful Rod
  3. I have a hotrodded 1915 Model T Racer that I rebuilt the Carburetor (Carter BB1 669s). The problem is that when shut down gas will leak out of the bottom if you advance the throttle, it doesn't take much, just a 1/16" or so. It does not leak if you don't advance the throttle.
  4. brasscarguy2, quite the coincidence, that HC car is the very car I'm thinking about. I will be going to look at it this weekend. I've been searching for the overland club website to no avail, would you have the link? I have had about 12 speedsters in the past, but all were Fords so this concerns me a bit! Rod
  5. Hello, I am considering buying a 1914 Overland Speedster but have concerns about making repairs if needed. What is the parts availability for these cars? Thanks Rod
  6. Forgot my contact information. rod@customfurniture.net PS I will be putting up a website with newer photos (those in this ad are over a year old, but the car has virtually gotten better (swirl removal and paint correction performed)). I will also provide a starting/running/driving video. Use the email address to contact me, and if desired I will then provide a phone number. The car is in Eugene Oregon. Rod
  7. Selling my Buick. Need to down size the collection as age is entering into the collecting equation. $42,000.00 OBO 1928 Buick 24 Sport Roadster Excellent condition. National first place 1981 AACA winner. New paint (stunning match to fabric top) New top, side curtains and top boot. Rumble seat with newer leather covered seat. New matching green leather interior upholstery New clutch assy. New coil Folding windshield. Marvel Carburetor replaced with new down draft (original marvel carb to accompany car). New Optima “red top”6 volt battery (march 2021) Recent tune up and service including replacement of transmission fluid Great oil pressure. Runs great. Some documentation leading all the way back to the 1st purchaser as well as the restoration which lead to the awards.
  8. Just saw this recent post, Jon, thanks for the comment. TriumphDude, good luck with your conversion. I can tell you that I have been very happy with converting, except for the initial carburetor issues I have been quite happy with the conversion, the car runs spectacular wth the generic carb on it, no issues what so ever, Starts instantly, idle is as it should and accelerates smoothly. I couldn't be happier. If and when I should sell the car, all the stock parts will go with the car. Rod
  9. Wow!! Thanks for all the great replies and excellent ideas, Im sure to get her points pointed in the right direction. (pun intended-- sort of).
  10. Want to ck/set the point gap, but don't have a hand crank (1928 Buick sport roadster). Any suggestions on what might work as a hand crank or where to get one? Rod
  11. 41, Perhaps I am misunderstanding your statement, but I am not running a Pertronix module, just their coil. Rod
  12. Thanks Terry, I'm just playing around trying to see what works and what doesn't. The wires and rotor appear to be fairly new. That pertronics site is a little confusing with their charts etc, which is why I asked the question. I'm going to play with this a bit, changing plug gap trying to find a sweet spot. I bought an "innovate LM-2" exhaust gas analyzer recently in an effort to dial this thing in, but with only an end of tailpipe sniffer it isn't steady enough to do much good, might have to weld in a bung further up the pipe for the O2 sensor? Rod
  13. I'm a little bored so I checked the plugs and found all 6 to be set at .020 I reset them to .025 resulting in some improvement. Then I got to thinking about the coil. I have a "Pertronics" # 40011 1.5 ohm brand new in the box. can I use it , or am I better off using a 3.0 ohm? Rod
