greg g Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Well it kinda looks lke a 34 Ford but not quite, so I'm gonna guess its a Russian reverse enginieered deal, probably a GAZ. I see a Studebaker truck in the background behind the early willys jeep, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brendan D25 Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 I don't remember seeing trafficators on North American cars(pop out signals on A pillar). I am going to guess Citroen Traction Avant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brendan D25 Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Interesting car. Is the fuel tank gravity flow like a Ford Model A? How is the coolant circulated? Ed, I knew the lady was somebodys wife or girlfriend. I think there was a picture of you and her posted here before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Coatney Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 How is the coolant circulated? . The early Plymouth 4 cylinder cars do not have a water pump. Hot water gravates to the top of the radiator and is cooled and returns to the engine from the bottom of the radiator. Pictured is Chets 1929 Plymouth with no water pump.

Merle Coggins Posted June 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 I also learned a little about early fuel delivery systems this past weekend. Early cars, including Plymouths, didn't have fuel pumps as we know them. There is a canister on the firewall (I believe it is the one shown on Chets car in Don's first photo) As it was explained to me, there is a venturi in the oil pump system that creates a vacuum. This is connected to the top of the fuel canister which draws the gas up from the fuel tank. When the top section of the canister gets full a float closes off the vacuum and the gas drops down into the lower portion of the canister, which then feeds the carb by gravity. Did I explain it right? I just had it explained to me that way. Merle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis_MN Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 The fellow with the 1919 International had an interesting fuel delivery system under his seat. He had a 5gal outboard motor tank, a 12volt lawn tractor battery, and a electric pulse fuel pump which when switched on, pumped the gas to the carb. Great temp arrangement to enable running from his spot to the ramp where he loaded it on his trailer. Dennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendan D25 Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Very interesting how things were done in the early days and to what we have now. Thanks for the explanation Don and Merle. Brendan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Ed Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Another piece of info. The first 30 plymouth has no water pump and the vacuum fuel system. By the end of 30 they had both. There are 3 versions of 1930 plymouths. We had a guy in our club with a 29 and the float for his vacuum tank liked to break and fill his engine with fuel. He had it happen a couple times and it lucky to not have caused any more damage other then needing an oil change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
