BlueDevil Posted January 26, 2023 Posted January 26, 2023 Can anyone tell me if a '28 Model 72 and a 29' Model 75 have the same vacuum tank?
Narve N Posted January 26, 2023 Posted January 26, 2023 Probably the same tank, anyhow most versions of vacuum tank will work on your car. I have run my Series 65s with three different tanks, including the OEM Stewart-Warner tank.
Layden B Posted January 26, 2023 Posted January 26, 2023 This works for the 1928 but I have no info on the "newer model".
leomara Posted January 27, 2023 Posted January 27, 2023 For what it's worth, the Stewart Warner Vacuum Tank that came with my 1928 Model 72 is 216-U.
leomara Posted January 27, 2023 Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) And while we are on this topic someone sent me this photo and said the thread size is 1/8 NPT. I don't know but that seems small. I would think 1/4 NPT is more like it. Edited January 27, 2023 by leomara (see edit history)
Layden B Posted January 27, 2023 Posted January 27, 2023 216-U Supplied as standard equipment on: 1926-7 Buick Master 6 Would not surprise me if it was either original equipment or replacement.
stakeside Posted January 27, 2023 Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) This tank used on my 29 DB truck. Larger capacity required for this 6 cylinder engine. 216AF Edited January 27, 2023 by stakeside E (see edit history)
old car fan Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 Tops are basically the same,#s do not mean much. Most the time,not ledgable. Should be more concerned with tank details.
lozrocks Posted February 6, 2023 Posted February 6, 2023 1928 saw the introduction of the Kingston Vacuum Tanks to the Chrysler line up. I think Dodge retained the Stewart Warner whilst Chrysler, Desoto and Plymouth used the Kingston.
BlueDevil Posted February 6, 2023 Author Posted February 6, 2023 lozrocks, My car is a Sept '27 build and it has a SW tank.

Narve N Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 (edited) 3x of my Series 65 and the 1x Series 75 all had #216 style Stewart-Warner tanks, but I have also had one Series 65 with a smaller diameter Stewart-Warner and one Kingston. I will use whatever pumps fuel and does not leak.. Edited February 10, 2023 by Narve N (see edit history) 1
