My mind was blown as well, believe me! This whole adventure has been one surprise after another, from the day the frame arrived. As I and others...
Figured I'd drop in here and give a small update. So, I went out to the Plymouth County museum in LeMars Iowa earlier this year to study the...
@34 GAZ That's just a cut down model A brake drum. I'm not running front brakes on the car, it's not street legal, so I cut them down to the...
Here's a few that were fairly easily accessible, there's more that I'll try to get pics of next time I'm near them. The nicest looking pair of...
Car at right is Ralph Morgan's Dreyer-built Frontenac-powered car with Harry McQuinn at the wheel. This car went on to become the Morgan Miller...
I'm sure a lot of y'all know the stuff I'm posting, but for those that don't... Sig Haugdahl and his 'Wisconsin Special' car, perhaps at Daytona...
Sullivan & O'Brien Special #47 in 1937, owned by Shorty Cantlon. That's Harry McQuinn at left, who drove the car in the '37 Indy 500. Not sure who...
Hal Robson at Southern Ascot, I believe. Some time between 1937 and 1942, as that's when that particular track was in operation. [ATTACH]
@Jeff Norwell That's the Mitte Brothers Special built in Detroit around 1940. Fairly certain that's in its early years, with the front leaf...
Lots of semi trucks and trailers use a bearing sleeve like that to set bearing preload. It seemed to go away for a while, and I no longer turn...

301 shows to fit 1954 Ford/Mercury 250/256 8cyl.
The 7HY is '48-'52 F1 truck right hand spindle, 21A is '42-'48 passenger car right hand spindle.
Here's a 1916 Willys Overland. [ATTACH]
Look at 1914 Overland for the shiny one. [ATTACH]
They definitely look to be water manifolds, though I don't think they're Offy, or Miller, or any of the other 'common' DOHC racing heads/engines,...
Would need to see some more pictures, but could be one of the many different types George Pounden converted from various aircraft magnetos. Kinda...
@Speed~On You and I are definitely into a lot of the same things. Here's some more pics. A Bell unit with a real pretty knob. [ATTACH]...
I'll add some more pics later, but here's a late teens Stutz dash with it's Hancock (iirc) pump missing it's knob, and the somewhat common (for...
I have a very similar pair, with the 3 mounting bosses on the back. [ATTACH]
Alan, that car is a big car, not a midget. Might want to post it over on the vintage sprint car thread....
Had a Creitz aluminum flywheel for early FE Ford, guy I bought it from thought it was Olds, but it was not, so I sold it. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Recent thread: https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/searching-for-history-on-this-custom.1250570/ Similar to this:...
They say the kit isn't compatible with stock wheels, though I'm not certain why. The OD of the wheel interface surface doesn't leave a ton of...
I have been wondering if Rootie wasn't Kevin Triplett. The timing would make sense, plus the massive amount of pictures and knowledge.
I believe those particular rockers are 1932 Buick model 60. Apparently, Buick rockers of the era were popular for OHV heads as the Miller...
Cyclone was a whole other company! Haha, wrong weather event! Spark plug hole is 18mm, blind hole, with smaller, maybe 1/4" diameter smooth...
The Tornado Chevy heads used Ford Frontenac valve covers, or copies of the same. Every period picture I've found of Tornado Chevy heads has had...
Anyone have any other information about the Chevy 4 cylinder Tornado heads or the cars that ran them? Here's the head I have and it's valve cover....
Definitely not for sale, never hurts to ask, though! @cabong Great that you knew Ak, I always wondered what became of that roadster or it's...
