Intake Manifold Plug
can someone kindly post close-up pix of the correct original 'threaded plug' (dont beleive repros are correct) used on the intake manifold when a vacuum wiper is not used. i dont know if the 'early 28' (which i need) is different than later styles.
Need to know what i am looking for at swap meets (unless someone has a spare they will part with) Thanks |

Re: Intake Manifold Plug
Charles,
Early 28 intake manifolds have a bulge right where the vacuum hole is in your picture, but no vacuum hole. I bought one at a swap meet a few years ago not knowing it was only for early 28's, but I sold it on eBay for a decent amount of money a year or so ago. I am not sure if the bulged style was used at the very beginning of production or not. I believe they were used in the first few months of 1928. I am posting two pictures of it below. Rusty Nelson |

FWIW: In Feb'28 ('bulge/hump' style) the hole was removed In Mar'28 ('bulge/hump' style) it went from flat to tapered mounting feet In Apr'28 the 'bulge/hump' style was changed to more familiar style Last edited by Charles Reese; 08-18-2016 at 07:44 PM. |

* my notes have a 1/8” NPT plug but no other dimensions * Snyders catalog uses A6621 for its 1/8" NPT plug but the PPL uses that number for the oil pump screen assembly. brattons and macs use their own numbering system * I know this is 'nit-pickin' but now i'm curious |

Re: Intake Manifold Plug
I wasn't aware the very early 28's intake manifolds were threaded and plugged, since the vacuum wiper wasn't even used until 1929 mid year. My 1931 PPL lists the block oil plug as 1/8 pipe plug by 5/16" headless slotted. So, if the manifold used the same plug, I'd go by that. I recently got a block plug from Bert's and was surprised that it's brass instead of steel.

Re: Intake Manifold Plug
The Standards state "From the beginning of production through January 1928,
the manifold had square mounting feet and a threaded vacuum hole with a domed slotted plug located at the bulge." My 1932 parts book shows plug 353052-S for the manifold, same as the one on the oil hole in the block. Bob |

Re: Intake Manifold Plug
My early 29 tudor with an electric wiper has this manifold with no bulge and no vacuum port. I picked up this extra one when I saw it since they don't seem to be that common.
