What Book of Information Do I Need?


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I made a post a while back about what to keep an eye out for when buying a 1926 dodge sedan. Well I went and bit the bullet and bought it. I’m now looking to buy a small library of literature for this car. However, I’m am unsure of what edition of book of information I need. My car’s serial number is approximately 627,000 which places it in late April/early May, 1926. I believe it is what is called a 2 unit system? It has the separate generator and starter. It is 6 volt as well. Just figured I would ask where to start  with this old girl. I’m currently working on getting the motor freed up and getting ready to buy new tires for it so it rolls a lot easier.

 

Many thanks!

Hunter

According to the DBClub site it would be the 18th edition, published Sept. 1926. The prices seem to be all over the place. Here is one in Australia: https://www.gould.com.au/book-of-information-dodge-brothers-motor-vehicles-c1927/au9302/

 

The Book of Informaton is basically the owner's manual, and you would still want one. But if you don't already have it, what you want for working on the car is the mechanic's instruction manual mentioned earlier. A reprint is available from https://www.faxonautoliterature.com/, which is the same source as as the eBay listing.

 

Good luck.

Collect them all.... The Mechanics Instruction Manual, Book of Information, Stewart vacuum tank booklet, and the North East Electrical booklet. Throw a Dykes manual in there too for some extra period repair info.
