wayne sheldon Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 More and better pictures would help a lot. Years ago, I had a 1929 Reo Flying Cloud Master semi sport coupe. It had a vacuum tank, not a mechanical fuel pump. I knew a couple people that had Flying Cloud Mates, the smaller companion car began for 1929 and continued through 1930. I do not recall if they had a mechanical fuel pump or not. Regardless, 1928 would be very early for a mechanical fuel pump on almost anything (that was the first year for a few cars). By 1931, most cars had mechanical fuel pumps (except Ford). But I am not certain what year Reo first used them on what models. Without a better look at the car and the engine? Difficult to tell much of anything. I suspect the engine at least is later than 1928, although there is some similarity to my Master engine, I can see it is not the same. Whether it is a later engine, or the smaller Mate engine I cannot tell. It may even be a couple years later car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58L-Y8 Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 What are the engine numbers on yours? I'm sure we can identify it by those numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Schramm Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 I would guess that it is not a '28 as I thought the first mechanical fuel pump came out in 1929 on a Buick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
