trimacar Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Post a picture of what you're working on. A 1924 Dodge didn't have a magneto, so we need to understand what you're asking.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franklinman Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Trim, actually you could get a magneto (Eiseman) from the factory on the 1924 DB (on other years as well). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minibago Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 The cars exported to Australia and NewZealand continued to be fitted with magnetos up to 1925 due to the perception of weak battery quality and low poulation density in rural areas. The information you need Dave is included in the Eisemann booklet, here is the relevant excerpt from that booklet. I hope this of assistance.

DaveWA Posted June 8, 2020 Author Share Posted June 8, 2020 Thankyou for your replies & help on this. I was told that this magneto is correct for this vehicle as it was imported to Australia. Thankyou also for the diagrams. The problem I have is the magneto is in a box & not fitted to the engine & when I dummy fit it to see how it may connect it looks like there may be a joining coupler missing that connects the magneto to the water pump shaft? If so can anyone tell me where I can purchase one along with bolts & info [diagram of how it connects ] etc. I would also like to purchase some spark plugs & wire leeds. I live in Western Australia & would appreciate any assistance, regards, Dave WA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minibago Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Hi Dave, I am in Adelaide. Myers Early Dodge in the USA have all that you need. Just google their web site. Easy to mount, the plate is a right angle, bolts to the block with a platform for the magneto. The flexible coupling bolts to the two hole plate on the magneto drive and the same on the water pump shaft. Easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I stand corrected, I apologize, I've owned numerous 1920-25 Dodge Brothers cars and never seen one fitted with a magneto. Learn something every other day! Thanks dc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minibago Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Hi Trimacar, No apologies necessary, if only we all knew everything. I still have a long way to go. The differences between the USA built cars and the Australian built cars are quite numerous so we will never get them all documented but it does keep the conversation going. 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Gregush Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Thanks for the photo that shows the magneto mounted. I was wondering how they were fitted up. Looks like direct drive with no impulse coupler in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
