Your points will burn prematurely and will need replacement

Here is the one I use. Small enough to carry in your pocket and only $26 on Amazon... Frank

pliers to remove front wheel grease caps... Frank

"assign the spots to another member" could mean that the current, vacant owner retains 'ownership' of the spot' but the spot gets re-assigned for one year. This would allow for legitimate vacancies you describe above. But just a caution - if there are too many loop holes in the vacancy policy, the same situation would rear its ugly head... Frank

Steve, My solution to the vacancy rate at the flea market is simple, at least in my eyes, and I have been vending, non stop, since about 1985. Simply monitor the spots and if they remain vacant after a second year in a row, assign the spots to another member. No exceptions, period. This will take an effort and probably more volunteers, but after the second year of vacancy, that vendor must re-apply and start over. Frank

PM sent. clapper is suspended by the harp... photos included in pm. Frank

I have a 10" LaFrance bell available, should you go that route.... Frank

If you can produce a photo of the moving bell set-up, please show us. I have a 1928 Ford/Howe triple combination with the correct bell and removed the incorrect LaFrance bell from the truck some time ago. Niether bell is a 'moving bell' version, but both are 'moving clapper'. The 'moving bell' set-ups are usually not intended for firetrucks but are used for parks and libraries. Also, I must agree with your observation that SPAAMFAA caters mostly to post WWII rigs. Frank

My first guess would be a split valve guide remover like those on Model A Fords... Frank

Check with Model T suppliers. Frank

Hinges appear to be General Motors. Maybe late teens six cylinder Buick...

Maybe I missed something in the above posts, but I think we are talking apples and oranges. Many, it seems, are describing CONVERTIBLES, not CONVERTIBLE SEDANS. Convertibles have a top that can drop and has roll-up windows, NO REMOVABLE PILLAR. Convertible sedans have a top than can drop, roll-up windows and a removable pillar. The California Top mentioned above was fitted to a touring car that had NO roll-up window (side curtains only). Frank

That is, except the Hudson Super Six. They blew the doors off the Olds Rocket V8 at the 1953 Daytona 500.... Frank

That car cost $1250 in 1907. Frank

I wonder if the previous owner modified the manifold to hold a home-made top cylinder oiler...... Frank

Looks like a simple starter solenoid...

Now that we know what it is, anyone need it? Frank

I may have found it... Found this photo of a 1941 Pontiac Torpedo Coupe.

I found what I think is a chrome strip for a late 40's running board that flares out to fasten to the deco style front fenders, but not sure of the application. I can find no part numbers on this strip. It only flares out about 3 inches or so and is 84" long. any ideas?

I would say 1930-31 International A4 Frank

You could try a Model T coil. While not correct, it will suffice until you find the right one. Very common and easy to obtain... Frank

Not a starter, this is a generator used on industrial equipment like Lincoln Welders and Jaeger compressors late 40's Frank

Jon, message sent...

I'll give you a shout on Monday... Thanks

I need a float for an M5 Stromberg updraft carburetor. It's a rather large cylinder similar to that in a car but MUCH bigger. Any help out there? Frank
