MikeC5 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Hi Dan, top irons don't come up for sale very often (I've been looking for a year). I finally bought a pair of an unknown make which appear to be close enough. The wood bows are easier to source since there are some people who can do the steam bending of the oak. The DBs are not like a Model T or A where you can just pick up a catalog and order up whatever is needed. Good luck with your search. Post some photos of your car when you get a chance.

Guest loucher_90 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Hi there, I have recently acquired a 1924 Dodge and do not really know to much about them. I cannot find any info on the internet and was just curious if you could help me out in locating the dipstick on the engines. I know this may sound like a strange question but not sure where else to look for info. Thank youRyan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayG Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 There is no dipstick on the early 4 cylinders. There is a gauge rod that pokes up though the block just behind the starter.generator. It will raise and lower depending on how much oil is in the oil pan. According to the Mechanics Instruction Booklet it should be at least 1/2' above the flat surface and not more than an ich to the overhanging water jacket. Hope that helps.

JayG Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Glad to help. When you change your oil and fill it with the 5 quarts required make note of where the rod raises to and that will be your full reference point. Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest toot12 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 hi. sorry to bring up an old post but this is the only thing i have found on the net about and oil change on a 1924 dodge. About a year ago i inherited one of my grandfather toys a 1924 Dodge business sedan. before i got it its last trip out of the shed was 9 years ago so it should probably get a drink of some fresh oil. i got under it the other night to try and find a sump/drain plug but cant seem to find one. can somebody please tell me where to drain the oil fromThank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC5 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Welcome to the DB forum. As you found, there is no drain plug. You have to unbolt the fitting for the oil pump feed tube from the pan (2 bolts). If you remove the pump feed tube and pull the fitting off the pan you should also find an oil strainer screen that is held by those same two bolts. Pretty easy.

cahartley Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 OR.......if time is on your side you can remove one of those cap screws and let it drain through the opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwollam Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Yes, but.... Ya don't get to clean out the grit and grunge that the screen filters and one can also dig some of that out of the pan with a little work. Loosen the fitting on the oil pump, pull both bolts and pull the screen. You will find it has gaskets too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
