Second version of the throttle assembly
When the 2011 version of the judging guideline came out, there was an added throttle control assembly (from 6 versions and now 7) - page 1-17 (see picture below). I have a roadster made in September 28. The car falls into the range where the "added" throttle assembly was added to the JG's - June 1928 through September 1928. The new JG's addition is very similar to the next version (style 3) except the second version has stiffening ribs on it. I was at Hershey this year and I must have looked through over 200 throttle assemblies and never found one like the second style. I am wondering it the second style is a "phantom" assembly. If anyone has a car with the second version, would you please post a response to this post, so I know they really exist. I have friends that have never seen one either. Also, if anyone knows anything about the second version, I would like to know about it. I have seen a number (not a lot, however) of the first version (and have had 4 of them) that also has stiffening ribs on it and plenty of the third through seventh versions, but zip for the second style. I know any throttle assembly would work OK, but I am trying to restore my cars to near fine points so I would like to use the correct parts on them. Any information would be appreciated.

Re: Second version of the throttle assembly
I also have never seen the second version.
I have the first version, but will have to look at it again, because I don't remember it havlng the ribs either. My Sept 1928 Phaeton has the original engine and it has the third one shown in your pictures. Correction, my 28 Phaeton has the one I pictured in post 22, which as sphanna says isn't pictured in the J/S. Last edited by Tom Wesenberg; 10-29-2012 at 07:28 PM. |

Re: Second version of the throttle assembly
I do not have the current JS yet so this is news to me. I will look through my throttle assemblies and see if I have one of these. It has been quite some time since I have looked at them. Rod

Re: Second version of the throttle assembly
My mid August 28 also has the 2rd. style which "holds no water" since the
engine and transmission were changed out long before I purchased it in 1965. I suspect it is a fabricated assembly, similar to the 1st style, and not a forging like the 3rd thru 7th styles.....but that's just a guess, I never have seen one also. I would (Rusty, I'm sure) like too see photos of this "phantom" critter? Last edited by d.j. moordigian; 11-13-2012 at 07:05 PM. |

Re: Second version of the throttle assembly
Rusty,
I looked thru about 150 throttle assemblies we have, to try to find one for you,and their were none of that style. Had several of the early ones and numerous of all the others, but I too have never seen one. When you sent me a request to look for one, I too realized that I have never seen one of that type either.

Thanks for looking, I appreciate it. I am starting to think the second version is a "ghost" part. It wasn't in the JG's until the 2011 revision. I know they were supposedly used for only 3 or 4 months, but still it would seem that a few would show up at Hershey (I must have looked at over 200 throttle assemblies and none found) or in your cache of throttle assemblies at Bert's. According to Steve Plucker's engine production chart, about 300,000 engines (cars??), were made from June 28 through September 28. That is a fair amount of throttle assemblies used. I will let you know if I find one, but I am not banking on finding one any time soon, if ever. Rusty Nelson |

Re: Second version of the throttle assembly
I think this item was made out of a hard to find material from the 20’s referred to as “un-obtainium”

Re: Second version of the throttle assembly
Well...between Rusty, Steve and my self, we looked at about 500 assemblies. Interesting, too say the least!
I have found a way too circumvent the problem on my car. The "60 day rule"! My car's engine is 60 work days from the last day in May...neat....I can use the First style Throttle assembly! Now for the next question on the "60 day rule"......do we have to count weekends? |

Re: Second version of the throttle assembly
You reply got me thinking about how complete the engine(s) were for
shipping? It would have had a flywheel housing, flywheel and a throttle ass. too test run the engine. Also the clutch and pressure plate assemble and maybe starter? Now...back too the " Second version of the throttle assembly",...who has photos? |

Re: Second version of the throttle assembly
I have a throttle control assy. that is different from all the 7 pictured in the above posts. I will try to post a picture. Any information about this one? It came off an engine numbered A2162368.
As you can see, the bottom goes straight to the edge at the left of the picture. It looks mostly like the top picture except there is the curved extention to the upper right top. Also I am wondering if any or all will work for any year if not for show.

Re: Second version of the throttle assembly
Steve,
I see what you mean. It looks very close to the third version, except for the lack of a curved up area in the lower left side. Maybe there were several venders that made the assemblies and they took a little liberty with the design. I will check my 5 or 6 version three assemblies and see if any look like the one in your picture. I suppose the people that wrote the JG's will add one more assembly to the guidelines - ha ha. The plot thickens!! I was hoping some Fordbarner that had a car made between June 28 and Sept 28 that was not molested would respond on what throttle assembly was on their car. Rusty Nelson |

The lower left side looks more like the first version. 2162368 would be an August 19,1929 engine I always wondered how hard the pattern maker worked to revise the old patterns to the new version. Looks like the pattern maker got the update correct for the curve on the RH side but did not change the pattern on the LH side to add the radius corner. If you look at the first version of the pivot arm with a spacer below it is exactly like the one in the photo you posted. Last edited by 160B; 11-01-2012 at 07:56 PM.

Re: Second version of the throttle assembly
Looked at the 23 I have and the second style does not exist in my parts pile. Thinking this may exist in drawing form only. Rod

Re: Second version of the throttle assembly
160B,
I looked though my 12 to 14 throttle assemblies and for the style 3 assemblies. I found 5 that are like the one you posted a picture of and 2 that are like the JG's. Go figure. I posted a picture of the two assembles below. It is kind of wield that out of 7 assemblies of the third type, 5 are different from the JG'S and 2 are the same. Rusty Nelson |

Re: Second version of the throttle assembly
Rusty, I wonder if the one in the lower picture came after the one in the top picture as
it eliminates the spacer under the bell crank saving Henry money. Bob |

It makes you think that there might be something that was missed when the JS's were revised. It is interesting that no one has a throttle assembly similar to style 2, but in the small number of Fordbarners on this post they have produced 6 of a design that is not in the JS???

Re: Second version of the throttle assembly
Sorry 160B,
My mistake. I should have check a little more. If that were my only mistake, I would be a happy man! Rusty Nelson Last edited by wrndln; 11-09-2012 at 08:57 PM. |

Re: Second version of the throttle assembly
Since so far none of the second style have been postes as found it would be nice if someone from the Js committee would come forward and show us what research prompted the change. Rod
