Anyone know what this thing is?

A local guy found this in a stash of his deceased father's parts and neither of us knew what it was. It has a float on it. The float is attached to a somewhat stiff coil spring which closes a valve when a fluid level would rise. There is a large check ball inside the orifice. It was in a box with the Lincoln logo on it.
Anyone know what it is?

 

Muffler bearing maybe ??

 

Toilet flush bearing and retainer???

 

NAH, its a FOO FOO Valve!!!

 

I vote for the toilet valve float

 

A valve for keeping the watering trough full

 

"A Feendish Thingie!"

A gas tank float maybe?

 

Rollover valve?

 

Fuel sending unit?

 

gas tank float?

 

Maybe it's not a car part and was just in the box? Only thing I ever saw that looks like that is the float in the gas tank.

That thing in the background of the second photo is a head off a Ford

 

Lincoln made ch***is lube systems maybe it's a part to one of them >>>>.

 

It's a wigwam for a ducks ***

Looks kind of like a cow trough water valve like we used to use on the farm. Seriously..........

 

thats the ever elusive whatthe****everyoucallit!

 

Just confirmed your theory with a Sear and Roebuck catalog from 1952, its a Super Duper ****ter Valve......water exits the bowl at a higher rate of speed............for man size turds

 

That goes on the bottom the pickup tube for a pneumatic oil pump like used in service stations. Anybody remember service stations?

 

it's a jack for a '63 cadillac eldorado

 

its a smoke pump. pumps new smoke into your circuitry

 

Looks like a release valve to let all the bull **** out thats piling up in here.

 

Are you sure? I don't remember cadmium plating.

 

But that was before the EPA stopped everyone from being able to buy buckets of smoke for their electrical parts, now you cant refill them

 

didn't you hear that they are making a converter for the smoke blowing out your ***? you can use that to refill wires now!

 

Check valve for septic system

 

I'm surprised no one has said, "kanoodle valve".It's obviously some kind of flow valve. Never saw anything like that, even when we used to have an air pressure powered barium enema instillation unit. They were supposed to pressure fill the colon up fast for barium enema imaging, but never really caught on; I think most Drs./Techs were afraid to use them. And now you know something else you did'nt want to know about. Butch/56sedandelivery.

 

**** Plug!

 

It is deffinatly a Henweigh.
It is used to measure 40 wt. ball bearings.
Works good on Prestone too.

 

Looks like $90/ton to me. Who cares what it is if we can't use it on our hot rods!

 

I don't know what it is but I bet larry flint would sell a million of em.

 

I bet Doc Brown built it to work with the Flux Capacitor. Check Valve for time travel.
