wrenchguy Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 gas stove manifold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete K. Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Not a gas stove part. I think it MAY be part of an old car heater that used the hot exhaust gasses piped to a heat exchanger in cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandpa Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I would like to offer the following observations of the unknown part: (1) The three openings nearest the camera appear not to be spaced the same as the three openings further away - - - This rules out an automobile engine application. (2) If the part were attached in some way to an engine, as a cabin heating device, the part wouldn't have traces of black paint on it - - - The part would be totally rusty like an exhaust manifold. (3) If the part were an automobile cabin heating device, it would have two connections - - - Ambient air inlet and heated air outlet.Grandpa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Holmberg Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 My guess is a water outlet on top of the head,and one bolt with a cast iron wacher in each hole that hold the outlet on place.Leif in Sweden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandpa Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I don't think that the unknown part is an automobile engine water distribution manifold since it has outlets on both the top and the bottom. I agree that it could be for water service, since the part appears to be designed for a hose connection at the inlet. Grandpa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Schramm Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Looking at the sloted areas as part of the holes in the first picture, Where a know to turn on and off the gas, ... I would vote for maybe a gas manfold for maybe a stove.....maybe/? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realsteeljack Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Judging by the severe corrosion visible on the inside , I think it had something to do with water and not gas.I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be a part of a cooling system from the very early days of the car.

Guest mikeburch Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Could be part of a water/steam furnace.mikeburch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1912Staver Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Your part looks to be nearly identical with the one on the 8 cyl. Minerva. I would imagine they also made a 6 in roughly the same time period. I would hunt down any Minerva engine pictures possible. The design is too unusual to have been used by many others.

jajolee Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 yes I am sure that it's from a minerva sleeve valve engineonly finding a picture from a 6 cyl is imposible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
