Not enough power up hills....

[39portlander]

Picked up a nice 32 barn find that started and drove good except when going up slight inclines or hills.

I was only able to buy this as the previous owner claimed "it was half off" the asking price.

Opened the pictured bottom end and it appears to be missing 4 cylinders, any input would be great.

That's because it's a model 'B'

Hold on boy whatja got is an improved (1 2 3) 4 cylinder motor with fuel pump so at least you don't have to back up hills.

looks more model T to me

Kurt, I believe you have it right! As for power, I would suggest checking the rear end ratio.

I'm assuming this is an April Fool's post. 1/2 off asking price due to missing 4 cylinders. Should have had a V8

The turn signal lever doesn't work either??? Chap

That’s an easy call. If all cylinders don’t kick in when needed, your Northstar computer is obviously at fault.

Engage the starter for those extra power surge needs.
