Hey Walter,  I have been in this hobby for longer than I care to remember and if we can't help each other there's no reason to have a Forum like this.  I have helped out  and been helped out over the years and that is part of what makes this hobby great and keeps our cars on the road. Like you, I just wish more people would share what they are doing. I know there are a lot more participants on the Model T Forums but they actively share their experiences and by doing so they provide great information for their fellow club members.  Happy Motoring!

Val (Rusty Fender) sent me a carb part off his spare carb that seems to always be broken to see if I can get it duplicated. I have never met him he lives halfway across the country. He has nothing but my word that he will get his part back. Without it his carb is pretty much worthless.  The people in this community are awesome.

Rant over go back to working on those old Plymouths and show us what you have done.

Right!

I think I have you under Val is that correct?

I took the part off my spare Carburetor so I don't need it right back.  I tried to find your address without success.  If you still have my email send it to me and I'll mail it right out to you.

If you can do without it for a while and can get it off without ruining it I'll get it copied somehow. I haven't managed to get the broke one off without breaking it further. Today I a working on a air cleaner adaptor. Do you still have my address?

That's it! My nephew has a 3D printer. I don't know how good he is at using it but I can find out. I also have a son that is a tool & die maker and sometimes he can get time to make me things at work. After going to watch the eclipse with friends I cobbled up some lines to see if I could get the vacuum tank pump to work. I hooked up a vacuum line to the intake but left the carb on the car hooked to the electric pump. Then I ran a hose to a gas can and another to a container and started the car. It was sucking gas out of the can and into the container in no time. No leaks! I think its going to work when I get the stuff in to hook it up right.

Here is as good as I can get of the accelerator pump linkage I stuck it back on with some tacky tape. The 2nd picture is of the piece that is broke off and the link that connects to the pump. For reference the rusty colored piece with the slot screw in it is the arm to the throttle linkage. I have ordered some fittings and am going to see if I can get the vacuum tank fuel pump to work. Is tubing 1/8" like goes to oil pressure gauge big enough for the vacuum line?You cannot view this attachment. You cannot view this attachment.
