Can anyone point out to me a supplier of flywheel ring gears by size , not application? Mike West

On the 1929 Franklin I drive the most I add 2-3 gals of diesel to a full tank of gas and it corrects the problem, It lowers the flash point of the fuel. The car performs just fine and no more vapor lock ... Try it. Ive also used a inline electric pump that I use only for starting after the car has sat a long time (eliminates the need to crank a long time to get gas to the carb.) and when the car hiccups from vapor lock , I flip the pump on for a few seconds and it clears out the line. Im sure the heat shields help and its a good idea.

Call Bob Mahoney for magazines 585 382 3164 He had a very extensive collection he was parting with.

Sorry no wood or wire 29 wheels extra. I looked and struck out. Mike

This bearing race Charlie is looking for is the same as a Mitchell Model T outer race.

Terry What if doesn't start??? Id be embarrassed! I rigged up a SELF COMMENCER for the initial start up. (2 V belts around the flywheel and a electric motor with a hinge and attached to the floor) smile....

It seems I saw on a site the adjustment methods of early Stromberg carburetors. My Wisconsin has its original Stromberg C-7 . Its been apart and restored . Im curious on a startup setting for the mixture and air adjustments . Has anyone seen the site Im thinking of? Mike

Is it aluminum with a slot threw it for a strap?

Al, How many LIFETIMES do you have ahead of you? I used to dream like you do but am only thinking about 2 projects at a time. How old are you?? smile.... Your friend Mike

Cost, reliability, easy service and parts, power and speed when desired. You can stop wondering now....

You boys forgot a important historical fact. When these Brewster's were refitted what car had a better reputation in the Low priced field than Henrys Ford new flathead 8. It could be serviced anywhere and parts were cheap and easy to find. Plus the Ford was "New Technology" compared to the Chevy Stove bolt six ...And why do you think every man that bought a Brewster was a tea toddler ??? My your own admission, You said you wondered why they picked Ford. I guess your going to still be wondering.

The fact remains they choice Ford and for a good reason, which no matter what anyone says , you will never be convinced. Have a great day and if I see you beside the road in your "Stove Bolt Six" Ill wave my hat with respect to your opinion.

Rusty , those cars didn't near have the juice that Ford did. Brewster's are heavy and a Plymouth , Dodge Or Stude wouldn't have gotten out of low gear. Fords V8 had the JUICE !!!! Unlike any other low priced car. You cant argue that statement.

PRICE. It always comes down to money.

That would be too easy.

I also know of a 1910 Pullman in the next town over, been in the same family since new. Not for sale , but the owner is glad to show it off.

If you are interested in owning a Pullman railcar I can help. Its 70 ft long, built in 1898 , and still has all its original cabinetry still intact, original mahogany paneling and pocket doors.

Paul how is thefirst ford working out? Keep a eye outfor fora 66 or 67 ford fairlane 4 me all models considered,

Dave , Ive taken no fewer that 6 Buicks 1928 -31 apart and ALL of them had lightweight non hard wood in the body framing.
