I've decided to offer this extremely rare Webb Jay Stewart Vacuum Tank Gauge here first. It is shelf worn and will require cosmetic restoration as shown in the pictures. Vacuum on the gauge causes needle movement so I'm pretty sure it functions as it should. Period literature shows it monitors vacuum tank function and also is used to calculate gas mileage. I've been into antique cars for over 50 years and this is the only one I've ever seen. Having driven a few vacuum tank equipped vehicles I would think this would be great to forewarn one of trouble in the system before it stopped completely. $200.00 plus shipping. Howard Dennis

Since the path of my restoration has changed I find I no longer need this gauge. Does anyone know how to contact "Silverghost" as he had expressed a need for it to finish off the dash on one of his cars? Howard Dennis

Anyone know what the Chrysler sold for? Howard Dennis

Normally I'd say this was an aftermarket winter front but it appears to have a Chevrolet emblem so maybe it was a factory accessory. Howard Dennis

There is no reason to leave out the word RADIO as it is written on the motometer and that is also the model of this particular motometer.Howard Dennis

Steve, I found them as "tube nuts" http://www.snydersantiqueauto.com/modelaparts/interiortrimscrews?page=2

Steve, try posting this in the Ford section. Years ago I worked on a Ford sedan that used these to hold on the door garnish moldings, trouble is I can't remember if it was a Model A or V8 but I remember they were new in an interior screw kit. Howard Dennis

Just purchased this spark plug and would like to know what it is. The only marking is: E8CO5 Howard Dennis

Bob, let me tell you about my wonderful experience with Facebook after friends and family talked me into joining. I figured I'd go along with their request and post a few photos of when I was in Vietnam in case some old service buddies wanted to look me up. No personal information, no friends, no mention of relatives or links to same. Within in several days some clown was posting stuff on my daughter's facebook page claiming to be me! I have no idea how the link was made as there was no connection whatsoever anywhere on the net that she was my daughter living on the other side of the country with a married name change. That was my last time on Facebook. Howard Dennis

Found this picture of how FDR's 1936 Ford was controlled. Howard Dennis

If it was an external greased bearing I'd go with the less trouble of a maintenance free sealed bearing but since yours is internally oiled I'd go with the self lubricating open bearings and let them take care of themselves as they were designed to do. Howard Dennis

After courting two possible sources for an original tank for weeks, it turns out both had wrong year tanks so I'm back to square one. Here's the two halves cleaned. Anyone know someone who could give me a quote on reproducing this tank? Howard Dennis

I need a good 1916-17 Maxwell gas tank. I have what I believe is a 1914-15 gas tank in near mint condition to trade. Howard Dennis This is what I need:

If getting a car as simple as a 1936 Dodge running is beyond your skills you definitely can't handle swapping a body from one make car to another make chassis all you'll end up doing is destroying 2 decent vehicles and creating a large pile of parts that will end up for sale. Pass that Dodge on to someone who can save it. Do this several times, save up your profits and buy a car you really want. Howard Dennis

Thanks Layden, with that massive starter/generator? that was my first guess. Howard Dennis

Does anyone recognize the motor on this truck? I'm positive it isn't a Maxwell. http://www.ebay.com/itm/251421857825?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Howard Dennis
