Need Sediment bulb/ fuel line help please
Hello A Gang; Ok more questions please, I am trying to figure out the finish for the sediment bowl to dash mounting nut for a summer 1930 Tudor ( the big nut above PS feet area holding it on) and also the lockwasher ; I cannot spot this in the JS anywhere. I do see the nut listed in the parts book as Cad plated ( A-21923) however at least one of mine looked more like black paint. Has the finish yet been pinned down, or did it vary?
Second issue, is regarding the inside gas line. Here are some pictures of two of mine, the easy one is the 1930 Model A ; its regular in every way exactly as the JS says it should be ( 27/32" length cone nuts; 5/16" in diameter,Terne finish). My mystery gas line is tagged "9230-B" in the pics; I have no idea what it is for - I would say the cone length is 1 and 1/16" inch; 9/16 " wrench size, and what confuses me is the line diameter which is 3/8". It physically fits my Model A , but I am guessing maybe its really Model B or 1950's replacement or something else? Does anyone know? Thanks as always for your kind help , Kev. Oh also the seam on the Unknown is much less pronounced than on the Model A one. |

Re: Need Sediment bulb/ fuel line help please
Initially the nut was cad plated and later changed to unfinished. I can't pinpoint when the change was but would guess late 1928. The washer was unfinished all years.
I can't see a seam on your gas line in question. If there is no seam then it's not era and the differences become a moot point.

Here is a bit better picture showing the seam, I was going to offer five bucks to the first person to ID it ; but I have a feeling my email is not big enough for that , ha ha! Kev

Re: Need Sediment bulb/ fuel line help please
That is "modern". Modern tubing is butt welded I assume. The tubing of the period was a thinner layer rolled around twice. At the overlap the continuous layer is stepped so both the inside and outside end up flush but show a slight groove both inside and out. I'm sure that's clear as mud but it's the best I can do!
