Unbelievable! The question was posted at 9:25am. John posted the answer, with the correct photo, at 10:31am. John I hope your hard drive, with all your categorized photos, are back up on the cloud! I can't figure how you can do it so fast unless you have a directory of "Dash Photos" or some equivalent. You have my utmost respect...........

All of the above from Bill & Robin!

Nice start for a project! I have a 20" wheel I would be willing to trade for a 21". After Christmas I will PM you and see if you are interested! Bill

What A great discovery! Thanks for posting this photo.

The worst is over Rogillio........... Throw it in the back of the garage, close the door, and get away from it for awhile. After the holidays go out to the garage and fix the trans............ Keep the faith!

Wait a minute... Are you talking about the car in my avatar Dave??????????? (LOL) Glad to see you're still on this side of the grass!

That's not a 1926. Different trunk lid and only 2 door hinges. Looks like a 1925.

I believe the product you are referring to is Cosmoline. Comes in a spray or in a gallon can.

Ray, Not knowing your car number I see that engines after A875-380 used timing chains. You stated when using a timing light the mark was not steady. This is an indication of a loose timing chain at an idle. Just another 2 cents in the pile of advice! Bill

Amen Brother! I stopped saving receipts at the turn of the century. Too depressing. Now I'm having fun spending my kids inheritance.

You might get lucky and not have to buy pistons. When your engine builder measures the bore of the block your pistons might be in range. Then all you need are the rings. Chrome top rings were mentioned in an earlier post but be advised that a chrome ring is harder than your block. I always prefer an aggressive cross hone with cast iron rings. Builders choice I guess. If your builder finds bad parts make him show you whats wrong and why! Good luck!

Looks good from my house......

Yep. You have to handle the parts with kids gloves sometimes. Meyers should have your shaft just explain that it's a 1927 6V. (I think it's 5/8" diameter)Here is an exploded view of your pump.....

Don't take me the wrong way! I was giving you compliments! Compared to the other work you did (On both Coupes)the water pump is a "Piece Of Cake". Love your work!

You just finished painting your Coupe, rebuilding your floorboards, restoring all 4 wheels, converting the electrical from 6v to 12v, and your worried about a small water pump????? Piece of cake..........

Jason would have been all over this! I miss his rants......

The 20 amp ammeter is for 1926 & 1927 only with 6 volt. Better hang on to it as they are very elusive to find. The 12 amp is for the 12 volt systems.

It probably doesn't matter if 1/4" is used. All I'm stating is what is referenced in the parts book. The glass you're measuring could have been changed in the last 90 years.

The parts book lists the glass at 7/32" thick.

Show off........ LOL

I don't know Jack. I think old cars just follow him around........

Nice work but I will be able to drink Beer while my pieces are being machined! It's nice to be lazy!

Your tip is well noted Ray and will keep that in my "How To's" directory.
