I use flaps in my T clinchers. As was touched on above, many newer tires do not close up at the center like the old ones. Also, I have found that some of the tubes that are marked 30X3-1/2 really are not, they run smaller so devil of a time keeping the tube in the tire while installing.
Rim liners and flaps are not the same thing. Some people confuse the two. Liners go on the rim before the tire/tube, flaps go in the tire and hold the tube in place. Split rims should have flaps, clinchers are up to you.
In any case, use plenty of talc when installing. Talc is a mineral; I stay away from corn starch. Do an online search, except for shipping cost, not that expensive. tire talc - Google Search
There has to be a reason they don't sell "baby powder/corn starch" for installing tube type tires.

So you are looking for cap that used 12 wires for 6 pairs of spark plugs?
Looks like you are missing the electrode that goes from one of those two terminals to the front of the magneto.

DU4 should be the same except the cam and cover would be for 4 wire/sparks

Granted the ACE stuff might have less graphite, but both are stranded type.
I have used the stranded type with very little graphite and worked ok.

Ace hardware!

I removed my shaft and had excessive corrosion on the shaft. Repacking did help but water pump still leaked. Make sure you grease the grease fitting well.
That is the biggest issue with the old steel shafts, rust and corrosion. Using stainless steel shafting is the way to go because no amout of packing will stop the leaks if the shaft is not smooth.
Re seeing anti-freeze, that's because it's green or orange so you see it. The clear water just evaporates so it fools you into thinking it is leaking less. Ma-Ha-Ha

PFitz, thanks that a new one for me. I have a "Gascolator" fuel filter on my 1920 Dodge Brothers. Works great. If I ever sell the car, I am keeping it.

They have fittings that accommodate wipers.
Maybe some do, but none that I have not been around had them. Most of the ones I have seen, have or been around look just like the ones in the above post. How about a photo?
-
They all look to be rim bolts, don't see any hub bolts.

Thanks for the advice gents.
when you guys suggest a new 12v coil, are you meaning a modern canister coil, or a new restoration style original coil.
For me, with unrestored 1920, modern. Mine sits in the housing that the old coil was fitted into. Guess that depends on which way you want to go.

I think Mark meant to say "built in resistor". Without that the points will fry.
Try a new 12V coil, (with a resistor if the coil doesn't have one built in), and see if that brings you any closer to motoring bliss.
Fixed my post. Yes resistor.
-
Make sure when you get the replacement coil it has either a built-in resistor or you need to add one. Not all aftermarket ignition parts are made in China, they are made in Mexico too.

Back in the day there was a tool sold by Miller Tool Co., they made service tools for DB and later Chrysler, that clamped and held the spring so the nut could be installed. I would never try this without pulling the windshield first.

You can't just change the gear on the cover, you have to change the gear on the sliding gear shaft too. Left and right hand drive setups use different tooth counts pitches and go different directions. One angles to left the other to the right when you look at them.

1920 to ? Dodge Brothers.

That speedometer on eBay is a REO not Dodge, so might not even fit the hole.

RE bolts through spokes into drum, MPL shows start starting serial # in very early January 1920 at 434412 over lapping to 436468, with a notation of 12588 (DB part# of the bolt but no picture) for cars above 490734 (later June/July 1920).
I read the 490734 date wrong last night and changed it.
I had originally miss understood the dates of when the bolts through the spokes started and thought the ones on my car (440XXX) were wrong. Going back and seeing when they started, would indicate that they might be correct.

swab you are right. Old cars on the road itself is a distraction. I myself, while driving, and I see an old car driving along I try to get closer to have a better look. But I keep it safe. A third brake light is good but all lights must be at a reasonable height to be visible Matt, and bright.
There are a lot of people on the road that don't see them or misjudge their speed. The shape of them or color just does not register as a car.
I added a 3rd brake light to my 1920 Dodge touring. It is mounted at the top bolt that would hold the spare tire bracket, along with two taillights. Turn signals to come later.

Looks like aftermarket ford/lincoln wide five bolt pattern. The switch to hydraulic brakes was done in 39 so mechanical 38 and earlier.
Wide 5 was stock on the Ford cars.

Ford wide 5 1936 to around 1939ish.

But that rear axle setup is kinda strange. Should have the two axles attached to the center section for cars. The trucks used a housing setup like that, the 1937 version is shown in Victor Page's repair manual but trucks didn't use the transverse spring.

Fan belt does not turn the water pump. It just turns the fan...In this case it really is a "fan belt"!
