Vaporizer overhaul...
would like some pointers from the Ford Barn "T" folks on the vaporizer as I am waiting for several restoration/service manuals in the mail.
The current one is on a running power plant but needs to be cleaned up. I'm from the Stromberg/Flathead side of Ford Barn and new to the model T and any input would be great. |

Re: Vaporizer overhaul...
Hang the vaporizer on a wall as a decoration and get a Holley NH. That will solve your carb issues.

Re: Vaporizer overhaul...
I had a vaporizer and it ran great. You just have to be smarter then the Vaporizer.

Re: Vaporizer overhaul...
Mine ran fine but there I was power starved. The Holley was a noticeable improvement.

Re: Vaporizer overhaul...
thanks for the input, I do have a very nice NH that I will go through this fall and have as a back up. Again were I'm new to the T is there much rod or linkage adjustment to adapt an NH were a vaporizer now is?

There is a "plate" (http://www.snydersantiqueauto.com/vaporizer-plate) that I had to replace on mine one time when it started running bad. It made all the difference in the world!

Re: Vaporizer overhaul...
To remove the vaporizer and replace with the NH you need a new exhaust and intake manifold. You will need different throttle and choke/air mixture rods as well. If your car is a factory original vaporizer, you may not have a hole in the block between #2 and #3 cylinders for the throttle rod to pass through.

Re: Vaporizer overhaul...
My vaporizer worked great. Started and idled really nice. The only problem was I would run out of power at higher throttle settings. I think this is the nature of this manifold.
