studeboy1930 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I got this in a group of Franklin parts, I had to take the whole garage. I dont believe they are Franklin parts being they are air cooled. Its a Delco Generator. Anyone know what its correct application is? It will be for sale.

Rusty_OToole Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) Nash used such an arrangement for years. The model of generator would help date the assembly.It has a cutout, probably 1930s Edited November 4, 2014 by Rusty_OToole (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Schramm Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Can you see any numbers on the oval tag? If so, the numbers would be helpful to determine the application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty_OToole Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Auburn used Lycoming engines, don't know about the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHAD THOMAS Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 all of those cars listed used Lycoming engines. looks very similar to later Lycoming generator/water pump combo's. not sure what the differences are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studeboy1930 Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 Thank you for your help, I have found multiple pictures on the internet of 1928 Auburns with straight 8 engines that have this combo on them. You guys have been a great help. I hope someone needs it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Gelfer Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Thank you for your help, I have found multiple pictures on the internet of 1928 Auburns with straight 8 engines that have this combo on them. You guys have been a great help. I hope someone needs it.I just checked my Gardner book. (I have a 1928 Model 75 roadster) I have the same Delco 949C generator, and the water pump looks pretty close too. You might want to post a free ad on the Gardner website: http://gardnermotorcars.com/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron hausmann Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 studeboy30 -Please let me know when you put this generator/pump up for sale. Or contact me by AACA messaging. I have a 1927 Kissel Model 8-65 which uses a Lycoming engine block, which is coincidentally missing its generator and water pump. maybe the planets are lining up here.Thanks, Ron Hausmann P.E.
