A history of Miller
 

Ever wonder where those Miller heads come from?

There is a section in the 'Museum of American Speed' in Lincoln, NE devoted to Miller, very nice. Next week starts the museum's "Speedster Reunion", a 4 day event for A's, T's and other early 4-bangers. It includes a great tour, a hill climb, a dyno-day, and best of all, free run of the museum!

Very nice video, thanks. It is long so make a cup of coffee to view it. Some really nice photos of Model A engines with Miller heads.

The engine started out at 125 hp but eventually put out 1,200 hp. Basically the same engine but with a lot of refinements in metallurgy and design to keep the engine together at 9,000 rpm.

As a young pre teen, budding automotive engineer, I was fascinated by the Miller engines. I studied every drawing I could get my hands on.

To put the miller/Offenhauser engine in perspective, at the end they were putting out 7.5 horsepower per cubic inch. That is equivalent to a Model A engine putting out 1,508 horsepower.

I have a Miller carburetor. It looks similar to the one on Ebay, but it is all made of an aluminum alloy. Harry had a special name for the alloy, but I can't recall it now. I had it on my B engine with a Miller head and a Miller intake. I replaced the miller fuel setup with a Stromberg 97 and a Zepher manifold, since I had no info on the Miller setup. It now is in a box in the trunk of the coupe with the Miller head. My boys and I took the coupe with the miller Carb setup on a cruise down CH1 in California and then ran a few passes at Bonneville (off season).
