    Posted

    I have a 1916 Crow-Elkhart project car. I have a Virginia title for it. It has a touring body and a tulip body. The Lycoming engine was overhauled before I got it. One of the two transmissions is assembled (one is a spare).  I have an original owners ànd an original acquaintance manual for it. There are many extra parts for it. It took four of us an hour to load everything.

    WTB: Two 25" split rims

    I have 5 Firestone rims similar to what you want. They do not have the boss or pin as shown in one of your pictures. Four of them have 34X4 1/2 firestone non-skids mounted and the rims are mounted on wheels. The wheels are solid with good spokes, however, they do not have hubs. If interested, I can send pictures by pm.

    FS 1947 Packard Clipper

    in Packard - Buy/Sell

    Posted

    I have for sale a 1947 6 cylinder Clipper. It has excellent paint, and chrome. The interior has been redone with the exception of the headliner, the new material goes with the car. It has a new battery, regulator and the generator was rebuilt. The starter has a new armature. The gas tank was restored by Renuzit, and the fuel pump was rebuilt last year along with a new 6v electric fuel pump. The radio was restored by a previous owner and works well. There are many extra parts that go with the car. It has been a good touring car. I am asking $17,000 for it. post-40990-143142381224_thumb.jpg

    Steam Cylinder Gauge Pressure - Condensing Cars

    in Steam Cars (Stanley, White, etc.)

    Posted

    Good Evening, Steam Car Enthusiasts!

    The BettyAnne, our 1925 Stanley Steam Car, is gradually moving towards restoration.

    The latest project is the steam cylinder oil gauge. This has a single 1/8 NPT coming in the back.

    I've rigged up a little system with my Ashcroft "T" shaped pressure testing unit and have moved the needle off the peg and measured another gauge so I can get the needle back on the arbor in the proper location.

    It occurred to me that I have never seen any information on the amount of pressure these gauges register.

    Does anyone know if anything ahs been published about this?

    Thanks very much!

    Don, At first I was going to say boiler pressure, but upon thought, the lubricator pump would be operating when the car was in motion and steam supply pressure to the engine would be less than boiler pressure. Now, my best answer would have to be "I dunno". Sorry

    Almost all YOM plates in WVA. I have a 1921 plate for my 21 Stanley, and the DMV will not allow me to use it as the number falls in their handicap numbers, and they do not want to remove that number from the handicaps.

    For Sale: 1916 Crow-Elkhart project

    in HCCA General Discussion

    Posted

    I have for sale a 1916 Crow-Elkhart project. The 30hp Lycoming engine has been redone according to the previous owner,and turns over. There are two bodies, 9 or 10 wheels, two transmissions and rear axles, the frame is in primer. Many, many miscellaneous parts. It has a good Virginia title. Included is an original owner's manual and an original acquaintance manual and also many advertisements from the era. At my age, I have decided that I will not live long enough to restore the car, too many projects ahead of this one. For pictures of all the stuff, please contact me by PM.

    Recommended Tranny oil

    I use synthetics in both my 1941 120 and 1947 Clipper. The only issue I have is that if I shift gears too fast, the gears will grind. It is not a fault with the synthetics, but a factor of worn synchronizers in a 71 and a 65 year old transmission. I wouldn't change back to non-synthetic and am just a little slower in shifting to compensate.

    Transmission Question

    Thanks,

    I appreciate the information. I bought the transmission with the idea of installing it in my 6 cylinder Clipper, but as I like the 120 much better, I would rather put the transmission in it.

    I have a 1941 120 and an R-9 Transmission. Will the transmission hold up to the 282 engine if I install it in the 120?

    Thanks,

    For sale: Wheels, tires, and rims

    in HCCA General Discussion

    Posted

    I am selling a set of 4 wheels and 5 Firestone rims. Four of the rims and wheels have 34X41/2 Firestone non-skid tires mounted. The rims are detachable demountable similar to those used on big Buicks and are in very good shape. The wheels have no hubs, but the spokes are solid and there is a pair of front wheels and a pair of rear wheels, judging by the difference in the opening for the hubs. This is a great chance to pick up a matching set of solid wheels without having to do a lot of searching. For pictures, contact me off list. I am located in eastern West Virginia. If need be, I can bring to Hershey.

    '41 Packard serial number location

    Posted · Edited by Steamcar
    Slight change to text and to correct spelling error (see edit history)

    If it helps, My 1941 120 serial number is 1492-3070 and the body number is 547184 That should help give an idea of the serial number.

    V8 oil pump conversion

    in Packard

    Posted

    Guys, I'm looking at a 1955 Patrician. It runs, but oil pressure drops dramatically when hot. I seem to recall there was an oil pump from another manufacturer that can replace the Packard pump to eliminate the problem. Any Ideas and how much modification needs done for this change?

    Thanks,

    Help? What is this car?

    The radiator shell ghost does resemble the Crow-Elkhart. They also had the transaxle with 3/4 elliptical springs. I have a 1916 Crow-Elkhart and the radiator shape is entirely different.
