  1. Might want to start a new topic instead of coming in on the end of an 2 year old one, this question is outside the scope of the original post. (It's not a pump, it's a valve that allows more or less fuel flow depending on if it is open or closed.)
  2. The Model A Ford parts suppliers like Snyders Antique Auto Parts should have one. (an adapter to use with standard compression gauge)
  3. Ya got it on so its got to come back off! Get a bigger crowbar.
  4. The rim has to be collapsed using a rim jack to remove the tire. A tire shop will not have the tools needed to do this job. Model T Ford Forum: Split rim questions (mtfca.com) You are mounting the rim on the felloe. The hub is the center part of the wheel that the spokes mount into, the felloe is the metal part at the other end of the spokes that rim slides onto which is held in place by the lugs or clamps.
  5. Heater switch would have a resistance coil to drop the voltage. That switch does not look like it has one. vintage car heater switch - Google Search
  6. Last Saturday, I drove my 1948 Ford F2 (3/4 ton with 3 speed) on a club outing. The shift pattern is the reverse of my 1920 which I drive more than the Ford, so I kept putting it in reverse instead of 1st. LOL Now I will have to relearn the Dodge!
  7. Fan belt does not turn the water pump. It just turns the fan...In this case it really is a "fan belt"!
  8. 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.
  9. 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. Bosch Magneto Duplex Ignition brochure (oldcarmanualproject.com) https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fdigitalcollections.nypl.org%2Fitems%2F510d47de-026e-a3d9-e040-e00a18064a99&psig=AOvVaw3se50dZgtcEbwpDoOUCxEe&ust=1691444699284000&source=images&cd=vfe&opi=89978449&ved=0CBIQjhxqFwoTCIjlxdSAyYADFQAAAAAdAAAAABAO DU4 should be the same except the cam and cover would be for 4 wire/sparks https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fforums.aaca.org%2Ftopic%2F377047-du4-bosch-magneto-not-grounding%2F&psig=AOvVaw3se50dZgtcEbwpDoOUCxEe&ust=1691444699284000&source=images&cd=vfe&opi=89978449&ved=0CBIQjhxqFwoTCIjlxdSAyYADFQAAAAAdAAAAABAY Wire holder Bonhams : A Bosch D6 Dual magneto, patented 1905,
  10. Ace 1/8 in. D X 24 in. L Graphite Faucet Packing - Ace Hardware 1926-1936 Water Pump Graphite Packing Chevrolet Pickup And 1/2 ton Trucks (oldchevytrucks.com) 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.
  11. Ace hardware! or other local hardware suppliers.
  12. 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
  13. 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.
  14. 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?
  15. Sent you a PM with his phone number.
  16. LOL Ya more then likely not, no matter which part of this great state we live in!
  17. Hope this works! Check with this guy. He has been selling parts at the Portland Oregon Swap Meet for years and I have gotten things from him; Beth Dewsnup | Facebook
  18. Great idea! Mine is just sitting there bouncing around...oh wait, our roads are really smooooth! LOL
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
