State Library of Queensland lists it as Elizabeth St,...

Re: Motor ID
Hi Guys, sorry I didn't post more photos. The motor turned out to be junk. I feel kind of embarrassed I bought it. I should have learned this lesson several motors ago.
Yes, it would have been a...

Motor ID
I picked up this motor today. I was told it was out of a generator for a searchlight. Does the fuel pump mount look correct? I don't think I've seen this kind before.

Monkeyface at Clermont
Nice Blitz at the Clermont Museum in Central Queensland. The tyres need air but otherwise she looks like a goer. I'm not sure what the lever on the steering column does.

Re: Ford Laboratory Test Set
Hi Meric,

Do you...

Autolab Distributor Check
Has anyone used one of these? It has two gauges, one for RPM (0-6,000)/Distributor (0-30) and the other for vacuum. I think it was made by Durst Electric in Sydney.
