Re: My new T
OK... so thats a Holley "Hot Plate" Vaporizer carb. Theres a tin plate under the part with 4 bolts. That has hot exhaust on one side and gasoline being heated on the other. That tube with solder is under vacuum and mustve leaked. I believe there used to be some type of packing nut to seal it, but ol' Bubba mustve fixed it with some solder (or lead). That needs to come apart to replace the probably rusted away tin plate.
The throttle arm is on the left of the pic and the choke arm is just below the bulbous air horn towards the bottom. Typically, those carbs would start on a small gas supply, and after good and hot switch over to kerosene... so the story goes. If the exhaust threads are shot, put it on ebay IMHO... The block and hogs head are definitely an "improved" model engine. Open the cover and verify that the brake band is wider than the low and reverse bands. Again, at this point, it is what it is... Get yourself a $100 digital camera with a 8meg memory card and take lots of pics... way better than a cheat sheet with notes LOL... ws |

Re: My new T
Where's is Mena in relationship to Searcy? I flew in and out of that little burg back in the late '80s and early '90s about 3 to 4 times each month. Once in a while it would be twice a week sometimes I'd stay from Monday thru Friday. I got pretty well aquainted with a bunch of really good people. I went deer hunting in Sunnydale or some place like that for a week. It's the only time I ever deer hunted with beagle dogs and rifles and Buckshot all the same time. And then when I shot my buck I was sitting in the back of a pickup and we were driving across a field with 4 wheelers and trucks. I was sitting on the tool box with the 30-06 when a 6 point jumped and I shot him. He ran into the weeds and they turned the dogs loose to chase him down. Once they had him cornered I killed him. Damn near shot the dog to. In Minnesota if I'd have done any of those things I'd still be in jail. The dogs, the buckshot, the uncased guns on a vehicle and shooting from the vehicle would be enough to cause them to take my hunting right's for many years. God it was fun.

Re: My new T
Ok, three days of discussion . Lets get this thing running. Pull the plugs ( might soak in knocker loose for a day or so) poor some oil in the cylinders and hand crank er over a few times.
Looks to me like a 26-27 engine with the coils, carb and hogs head. I would check the oil , hook up a battery as good as i could and trash the carb intake ( ebay etc) put a earlier intake and holley NH on it ( do whats needed to work that out ) Get it sparking and then maybe running enough to warm up ,change the oil and set back and looker over .... Never know about these cars they will fool ya on how well they will go .....I think we did 4 of these barn cars last year and actually drove each one around the block with very little work..... One 27 touring is still hauling my friend around , kids and all............ Be glad to help might even have a part or two ( on the cheap)........pm for help., |

Re: My new T
Oil of Wintergreen is an amazing penetrant & can be used to free a stuck engine. You may be in a position to thank some unknown person for putting it in that engine years ago. It now turns over maybe due to the wintergreen.

Re: My new T
The hogs head is the trans cover with the two bolts in the top... looks like a hogs head... kinda! A few weeks ago I played with my coils and had 7 duds out of seven. Within an hour I had all seven knock me on my keister! Take the points off, and clean everything with a wire tooth brush. File the points FLAT with some 800 sandpaper (wet or dry body work paper) and re-assemble. Theres nothing to lose. Dont tear into capacitor work just yet... you may regret that move! ws

One of the things I did forget to pass along regarding the previously described hunting trip was that all the things I said about the buckshot, uncased guns and shooting off the back of the truck and chasing the deer down with dogs was completely legal and that's really what surprised me. Because all of these things are illegal in Minnesota.

I always like the thought of Minnesota, but I hate the cold, I don't know how you guys up there do it. How did the model T fair in Minnesota did many survive, I am told that steel does not rust as fast in a cold climate? |
