I found this old keg pump on ebay. Here it is on my speedster; there is a check valve in the line to hold the pressure. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Right you are, it's the Charles W. Morgan in the background. This was taken during the annual By Land and By Sea antique vehicle show.
Here's a bigger version of my avatar photo and a couple others; it has a Rootlieb body kit on a '29 chassis. The engine is stock except for the...
I don't want to say because it may have been my fault. I am pressurizing the tank with an air pump and may have let the pressure get too high...
My Ford speedster in my avatar picture has an oval gas tank with two internal baffles to reduce sloshing. One of the baffles has broken loose and...
My speedster just got a bit speedier! [ATTACH] It's a Yapp Vortex manifold with two Zenith B carbs. I was running a single Zenith B on an...
You're right, but I don't think it will be that bad. The tank holds about 20 gallons, but I usually only fill it half full, so that leaves 10...
I took advantage of the unusual 60 degree weather here in New England and assembled the pump system. I decided to mount the pump outside the...
I guess I didn't make it clear, I already bought the one in the picture. It even came with a keg tap! :D
Ha ha, you may be right! Fortunately I only need a pump when the tank gets below 1/4 full, anything higher it flow by gravity. Posted using the...
Score! Found on ebay, part of an old keg pump. Nice heavy chrome-plated brass with some patina. I like it because it doesn't resemble more modern...
Hey great idea. New keg pumps can be had for less than $50. And used ones are all over eBay! Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
I didn't know that!
That's the thing. But $300, ouch!
I have an electric fuel pump on my '29 Speedster but obviously this is not period-correct. My fuel system is able to be sealed so I was thinking...
Ooh, I know! "Take your stinking paws off me, you damn dirty ape!"
From the article, "One more primitive feature was the final drive to the rear axle using a pair of chains. Only weeks before the record...
Isn't that Edsel Ford's custom speedster? Posted from the TJJ App for iPhone & iPad
Nice job, BangerMatt! Posted from the TJJ App for iPhone & iPad
That's about right. The previous owner of my car installed the kit; I wouldn't have bought one myself. It is much cheaper if you don't buy the...
Yeah, here it is: http://www.rootlieb.com/html_files/ma_spd_kit/ma_spd_kt.html
I believe that was built from a Rootlieb kit, like mine.
Is this any help?
My '29 has Monroe 31069 rear shocks FWIW. They fit 60's Mustangs and Fairlanes.
You're right it crashes on my iPhone 4s also. It didn't used to on my older iphone; maybe it's an issue with ios 5.
I got the TJJ app on my iPad and it works pretty well except when I try to change the thread loading behavior the app crashes. Anyone else have...
Merry Christmas from Little Rhody!
It's a movie car from Captain America. It's meant to look military. I just watched the movie over the weekend and I never noticed the car had...
I got a chance to try it out and it works! :) The mystery knob turned out to be . . . a stitch timer! Better luck next time, Blue One! ;)
I plugged it in and it powered up, fed wire, and flowed gas; so far so good. I can't make sparks until I get a helmet. But you're right if it...
