Guest Ron B. Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Can anyone help me with the motor settings on a 37 Horch straight 8? Points, timing, valves, ETC. Ron B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Gelfer Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 It would help to know what brand/model of distributor. Single or dual points? 4 or 8 lobe cam? Did Horch make the motor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Horch make the motor?I did not take cap off yet but will today. It says HORCH on valve cover so I think it is their motor? Ron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen_Dyneto Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Great piece of German engineering. And rare, but there are at least 8 Horch 8 cylinder cars listed in the CCCA directory. I think making contact with their owners would be an appropriate step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest goneflyin Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Hi Ron,we've got some info (from both parts and service manuals) we'll give you on the Horch 853 as we've rebuilt 2, and restored one fully. They're in German, but what the hey.Give me a call 519 352 4575, I'll be glad to help.DonRM Restoration Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
