automaschinewerks Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 thanks very much, I got a s-w vacuum pump from ebay, it doesn't look as big around as yours, looks like the diameter of the top section on yours that the fittings are coming out of. the picture is great, thanks a lot, now I can see how I need to make my mounting brackets too.

1927Chevy Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 (edited) terry thats a 4 bolt tank they also have 8 bolt (stewart warner) i have many 4 bolt parts and complete units. they are the best fuel supply units, people try to replace them with electric but all fail. generally skinny 8 bolt early pre 27 or so 27 and after 4 bolt an fatter. both work great. ken Edited October 22, 2016 by 1927Chevy (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbk Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 (edited) I found this picture on the web from an auction of a 1929 Erskine. It is not my car. The Erskine registry , http://erskine_registry.tripod.com/owners.html You can use your computer in your research. Just google 1929 Erskine and you will find a lot of info. Also on Stewart Warner http://www.hudsonterraplane.com/tech/1927/StewartWarnerVacuumTank2-11-27.pdf Robert Kapteyn Edited October 22, 2016 by rbk (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automaschinewerks Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 thanks for the info, Robert. yes I have been on the computer reading everything I can about the car, and I have emailed the Erskine registry with no response, (to include my car). I also did run into that s-w instruction scan a few weeks ago, but I'm gonna print out the link you gave before I forget where it is again! ken, I would be interested if you have anyof those 4 bolt units for sale, are they stewart warner as well? I will use the skinny 8 bolt tank I just bought for now until I find the correct model. and yes I'm replacing the electric somebody put in years ago. trying to go original.
