April - May 2018 - Miss Maple Update

Such a cute puppy.  Growing pretty fast and still likes to chew or get into anything that is within reach.  Can you believe that some people call her spoiled?

Flywheel and learning something new - Pretty cool

Image
Bob Stein from church came over to look at the truck - just in conversation at church - learned he worked on classic cars when he was in college and is currently helping someone with a Model T - pretty cool.  We tried starting it up but had no success and of course that got us both into figuring out why - since it started up the last 2 days.   He asked all the questions about what we have been doing with the car and then the fun began for the day. There is also a 40 degree marking on the flywheel - but I did not take a picture of that (at least I think there is) In trying to fine tune the truck it worked better if we followed the 1928 engine directions instead of the 1927: file:///C:/Users/Owner/Downloads/show_pdf%20(4).pdf SO now the issue becomes what year is the truck actually, but that is for another post/date, as I am still researching that information.  IGNITION TIMING Chevrolet Models 1925 to June, 1927 (all models without semi...

Horn Works - Klaxon - 8C 6volts

Image
Thanks to my brother-in-law Eugene and my Nephew Dave (good name) we got a lot of the electrical working on Sunday - 24 June.  I was in the house when I heard the distinct noise that brought me back to my submarine days - Dive - Dive - Dive - alright maybe not exactly the same - but still a good and distinct noise that got some neighbors out of the house to come over and inspect what was going on.    So - the horn has been working on and off - seems it works for like 3-4 blasts and then it stops.  So I took it apart and checked it out, cleaned what I could and put it all together. I didn't put it back in the truck because it is like 100 degrees outside today. Here are some of the pieces I was working on in the house with A/C. Information off the horn: Klaxon - 8C 6 volts Delco - Remy Corp. Anderson, IND. USA Holding the horn together - 6 bolts - 3/8 in. open end 2 bolts horn bracket to frame - 1/2 in.

Back in Time

I did a few Google searches of the previous owner - trying to get maybe a picture of him and the truck or some family members, or even some articles on the many awards that he won with the truck in car shows - not having much luck.   Today I reached out to his Son for some help in getting something from the past to post and hopefully in time I can update the blog with something from the past.  In the mean time - with the truck came  16 awards, 4 plaques and 1 Ribbon.  My goal is to clean up an award every month and to post it and by the time I am done with cleaning them all, I will hopefully have the truck up and running and in my first show.  I will put the awards in order and go from there.
