Thank you. Even a sketch of what the assembly is supposed to look like would help.

Hi I am looking to buy these parts if anyone has available! https://forums.aaca.org/topic/397767-wtb-1929-db-throttletiming-advance-mechanism/

My other post here:

I am looking for missing pieces to the mechanism located at the bottom of the steering column. I know for sure I am missing the friction clamp. There could be other pieces missing.The photo shows what I have. I am in California. Thank you!

Thank you so much for the schematic! This confirms my suspicion that I am missing a bunch of stuff. If anyone has extra bits laying around please let me know! PS my 29 Standard 6 was purchased new by my great grandfather. Been in the family ever since, but not sure who to blame for the mechanism!🤪

What would be more likely to suddenly cause one wheel to lock up when braking? This is a new phenomenon. Too little clearance between the shoe and the drum on that particular wheel, or pushrod is too short on that wheel? It's the left rear.

Definately looks like I'm missing something. Whatever it is keeps the throttle lever from moving from the set position (in your case, the bands). Thanks for the photo.

Thanks. Hopefully I can get this sorted.

There is a mark on the flywheel indicating "IGN" which on my 29 Std 6 is at 10 degrees BTDC. I set it on the mark statically, making sure the rotor is pointing to Cylinder 1, not 6. Place the lever at the steering wheel in the lowest (most advanced" position. Now rotate the distributor until the points just open. Once it is up and running a throw a timing light on it and see if the lever needs to be adjusted to achieve 10 degrees of advance, or if I hit it dead on.

Can someone post a photo of the assembly at the bottom of the steering box? Someone had installed the lever backwards so that advance=retard and retard=advance, and I am perplexed by the assembly. There are several springs and stops, all which rotate freely. I suspect I am missing a housing of some sort that the stops work against.

Hi everyone. Well, the JB weld inner tank seal only lasted a little over a year. Does anyone have a Stewart model 216-A inner and outer tank? My top, mechanism, flap etc are all in good condition. Thank you!

How did you seal cracks in the exhaust manifold?

I was reading #89,708. Maybe I have #89....or #708...? And the manual that has always been in the car is titled 130 Series, which should have been for the 1928 Victory 6, vs. 140 Series for the Standard 6. Maybe I have #89 produced early 1928, and only manuals from the Victory were available at that time?

Body code is 1733(3?) - (the last number was drilled through) Engine is J89-708 Which is odd. 75,519 was the last unit produced. I havent located the frame code on the cross member, toe plate, or near the right rear spring.

So how uncommon are Standard 6s? Ive seen a few members with 1928 Standard 6s, but I haven't even seen mention of another 1929 Standard 6. I have searched the forum pretty thoroughly. I had assumed that Standard was standard, garden variety, but most discussion is regarding DAs or Victory 6s.
