Is this a mid 1920's Dodge water pump?

It's the diameter a gas cap or crank hole cover would be. I've never heard of a screw on crank hole cover though.

It's heavy, so I assume it's made of brass. Chrome plated. Threaded on the inside. Knurling on the outside. There are no markings on it anywhere.

The star of the show. 1931 Stutz MB Rollston convertible victoria. Same owner since 1950.

Now the Saturday show. Wasn't sure it was going to happen with all the rain. The field was surprisingly dry. About 50% of the cars showed up.

1933 Buick 90 series limousine asking price 40K Pierce Arrow 1930 Packard 733 coupe I think they were asking around 35 - 40K. L 29 Cord with non-authentic roadster rebody in the 1950's. Model L Lincoln Brewster Ford 1934 Packard 1940 Cadillac 62 Saw this Cord being unloaded by the AACA museum. Hardtop was added in the 1950's I believe. It was originally a conv. coupe.

If the poll were for most advanced engineered car, Duesenberg, Stutz, and Cord would be at the top of the list, with everything else quite distant.

Yes, Chrysler was the other major brand that used the FEDCO system. I imagine the "code" was different for each marque. The Stutz code has been "cracked" too, but I don't have that info handy right now. Stutz used the FEDCO system from 1926 - 1930.

There are 3 sets of numbers used to identify your 1927 AA Stutz. First, there should be a brass tag on screwed onto the firewall which is the serial number of your car. The last 5 digits of it should correspond to a brass plate on the instrument panel. This is the FEDCO number, which was an anti theft idea of the time. The plate on your instrument panel has the Stutz logo with the number immersed behind it - if you look carefully you'll see it. The point of this was if someone stole the car and removed the plate on the firewall, the tag on the instrument panel would still be there to identify which car it was. The FEDCO number used numbers and letters and there is a "code" to it to decipher the letters into numbers. There is also a brass tag on the valve cover of the engine. This is the engine number. This should correspond to the number stamped into the block by the distributor. Sometimes you see titles with the engine number on them for identification. Third, if you remove the passenger side rear bumperette, you'll see a number stamped into the flat end of the frame horn. I believe this number is the "numeric"version of the FEDCO number with no letters.

Click on the Craigslist link and there's a picture of the back of the car.

I have a Simms Magneto Co model G generator that is supposedly for a 1920-22 Maxwell.

It's either a later 1949 or 1950. Either way it's a 23rd series. 22nd series 1948 & early 1949 had the side trim at the bottom of the body. What engine is in it? It's either a 327 (Super Deluxe) or a 356 (Custom). Looks like it has the accessory vacuum antenna in the fender versus the standard one in the center of the roof. If its a Custom with the 356, it's a steal at $1200.

Here's a similar one for sale on e bay now. Same data tag, but different model number. It's a model 165 and is listed as being for a 1917-1918 Elgin. 1917 1918 Elgin Wagner Generator Assembly | eBay

Here's a picture of the tag.

Yes, it says "6 volts SPEC. E. M. 357" on the tag. I'll post a picture later today. Your'e right, it could very well be a marine or indistrial application.

There are 3 brushes and they appear to be rectangular in shape.

No clear model number on tag, but may be model 357. Any ides to what it fits?

Delco generator model 247. What does it fit? mid 1920's Dodge?

Simms Magneto Co. generator Type G. What does this fit?

I don't think you'll have any trouble, but to be sure you may want to post your question in the tech section of the Cadillac/LaSalle Club forum. 1954/55 Cadillacs are nearly identical mechanically. It was 1956 that there was a big change in the transmission. One thing you may have to deal with is whether your car and the donor car has a Carter or Rochester carburetor. The kick down linkage may be different depending on which carburetor you have so watch for that.

Yes, 1937, 38 & 39 are all the same body shell.

No trip to Detroit would be complete without a visit to the Packard factory. I didn't get out of my vehicle this time as there were some locals roaming the grounds.

Auburn 1940 Cadillac model 72 It rained the night before, and while the grass was reasonable dry, each car left a 2 inch deep impression where parked. The star of the show (in my opinion). 1937 Lincoln K LeBaron coupe. One of 24 built that year.
