Running no choke. Strombergs have # 41 jets and the stock power valves. Carbs were set up by Charlie NY and were installed. with no changes to them. The car runs fine when warmed up and have gone to many shows. I put in Marvel Mystery Oil every other fill up to keep everything running smoothly...

Hi all. I have a 59A flathead engine in a 1929 coupe 276 cu in Eddie Meyer intake with dual Stromberg 97's Sharp heads and using an Isky 400 Jr cam. Using the front mounted distributer with Pertronix conversion. I suspect the timing is off somewhat. The car runs OK but if the car sits for a...

I have an original 1932 Ford luggage rack for sale. All complete with original cast iron spreader bar and hardware all in tact. Was stored for decades inside of a house. Very nice original condition.

.....and the beat goes on .... and on ..... and on ...

Thanks ever so much Pete for the information on these cams. The 6372 cam, I am confident is an original Harman Collins cam. It has Harman Collins stamped on it and their logo is stamped in between the Harman and the Collins. The 1015 cam has never been used. When I was in high school I worked...

I have a couple of Harman Collins early flathead cams that I have had for a very long time. I hadn't realized until recently that Harman Collins marked their cams or at least some of them on the side instead of on the end like most cam grinders did. I took out a magnifying glass and found some...

Re: “Edmunds custom” heads and intake value? Offy would have all of their old patterns and I'm sure their 1067 patterns would be the original ones. Only 4 sets of these 1067 heads were sold when they first came out. I have a set of the Smith heads that are going in my 1927 roadster and they are...

Re: “Edmunds custom” heads and intake value? A new set of Offy heads is $1500, and the new 1067 Offy heads that are much thicker are at $2000 for a set of 59A heads. Now try that on for size!

I would also be interested in purchasing a condenser. Could you PM info?

Actually the Kates intake manifold is from the Shanafelt pattern and would have been cast in the USA. I have never been able to track down who Kates was or the identity of the intake. Perhaps made by Bill Shanafelt or perhaps not. I have one of the Kates intakes and have found they were made in...

Yes David, I did read all of your post #61. It was extremely well written and you have that special talent when it comes to writing, and I fully can understand your viewpoint. You obviously liked your purchases and liked your whole experience with that auction company. That's great and as long...

TJ, yes I have tried to help out younger people by selling intake manifolds to them for a very reasonable price, just to help them out with their project and get them along in the hobby. I remember selling two very hard to find intakes to two different young people. Just take a guess what...

I think that Tubman's post puts everything into perspective. Things are really going to change in the next 5 to 10 years. I really don't know what is going to happen to our hobby .Some younger people are still going to be interested but the numbers will be down considerably compared to the...

The auction I was referring to was the online auction of parts and not the 1932 Ford cars and other vehicles that were also up for auction. The auction I was referring to is the first posting in this thread and was made up of about 500 or so lots. 23% premium on top of the hammer price, on top...

23% buyers premium is just pure greed. I just took one look at that and from then on I had no interest in this auction at all. I'll wait for Hershey to come back and look for parts there.
