To bring my story current; I puchased my 1912 Special from Brad Wallace, you can see his posted pictures under his name in the Photo Gallery. He had just...
Mr. Campbell, Thank you for the picture of the magneto; that's the first I've ever seen of one. Neither my father nor I ever remember seeing anything like...
Greg, There is a nice picture of the Model Q engine (A very impressive unit for 1910.) in "70 Years of Chrysler" by George H. Dammann, as well as a full side...
David I was also interested in this so I have just measured my AB by determining the volume of oil needed to fill the combustion space at TDC. This gave a...
Howard, Thanks very much for that, I would have done the same thing but my engine is away being reconditioned. The reason for the question is that I need new ...
I need new pistons for my 2 cylinder AC (same as AB) and the suppliers only sell them in sets of 4. Anyone interested in 2 pistons? David McCredie Australia...
David I reckon that the dome is about 3/8". It is more than 1/4" and less than 1/2" Did you ever measure your compression? I'm getting 55PSI but I have no idea...
The late Harold Sharon used to make aluminum pistons for various cars, including the one-cylinder Cadillac. I have one in my Cad, and no, I didn't have to buy...
Howard, I just received the price, the pistons are US$192 each not including rings which will be quoted shortly. The compression on mine was 15 psi on one ...
David Looking through the spark plug, the dome height is about 3/8". It is more than a 1/4" and less than 1/2". I have no idea what the re-bore size is but...
Isn't max theoretical 55psi. (atmospheric x 3.67)? Tom Reese LC & GA. ... Isn't max theoretical 55psi. (atmospheric x 3.67)? Tom Reese LC & GA. On Feb 22,...
According to wikipedia the Pressure at TDC = Pressure at BDC x Compression Ration raised to the power of the "specific heat of the working fluid", in this case...
That looks more like the way to calculate one's blood pressure. ... That looks more like the way to calculate one's blood pressure. On Feb 22, 2009, at 5:54...
Chuck Wiki is correct for the theoretical value - but CR=3.67 raised to 1.4 power = 6.17 Ptdc = 14.7 x 6.17 = 90.7 psi ABSOLUTE or 76 psi on the gauge Howard...
Chuck Many thanks for the offer. It is much appreciated. If you could also let me have some dimensions (or photos against a measuring tape) and sizes for the...
Thanks for the correction. I mixed up my exponents. I never could learn how to use a scientific calculator. Chuck Richardson www.maxwell-messenger.info ... ...
I have just found a copy of Dykes with relevant information. For a CR of 3.6, we might expect 64 psi (this data was for a Model T) When compression testing,...
I've repaired the wood in the body; there were quite a large amount of body # stampings; all the doors had the body # stamped into the wood framing as well as...
Hello again everyone. Since I'm on Spring Break this week, I thought I'd give you some updates on the restoration of the car. I haven't been able to do much,...
Dear David, I found this in a pile of items that were my fathers. Thought that you would like it. Thank care, Megan Simmons (Joe and Sheila's daughter) ... ...
I'm looking for tips on how to reduce the oil leakage from the interior of the transmission drive shaft out past the plug. Right now, the best I can figure is...
