<p class="MsoNormal">Air pump to pressurize the fuel tank? Very common in the olden days. Also the way it was done in WW1 aircraft, though they had a tiny air pump driven by the slipstream of the aircraft via a little propeller, and often there was also a
gravity feed tank , and, a rubber bulb in the cockpit to manually build up pressure for starting.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">My dad was a Ford guy. He tried to brainwash me on Fords too, but I
<br>
rebelled and got a TR250 rather than a Mustang (good move right?). <br>
Anyway, he had a 1926 Model T which he got when I was about 8 years old <br>
and I inherited it when he stopped driving. I naturally gravitated to <br>
the performance end of the Model T hobby. Most people our age think <br>
sports cars and hotrodding started after WWII, but the same thing <br>
happened when the doughboys came back fror WWI. They wanted cars like <br>
they had seen in Europe. The Model T was the natural platform, since <br>
they were so abundant. I call my other one my "Poor Man's Bugatti" (see <br>
photo). It was built in 1922 on a junked 1914 roadster chassis. It was <br>
fitted with a mail order boattail body. It has several performance <br>
upgrades which were available in the period, e.g. full pressure oiling, <br>
RAJO overhead valve conversion, 2 speed rear axle (also a J-type <br>
overdrive not available in '22). I plan to build another speedster. I've <br>
got another speedster body and a Model T motor with a SOC head. There <br>
were a lot of speed parts available for those cars.<br>
<br>
I wouldn't put to much weight on what the manual says for lubrication. <br>
Most lubricants today are better than anything available then. I run <br>
straight 30w or 10w-30 in the '26 which is still running with splash <br>
oiling. You want the oil to be fairly thin to get into the bearings. The <br>
Model T manual calls for 600w oil in the rearend, but there is some <br>
debate about how oils were designated back then (before SAE standards). <br>
I use the same Sta-lube GL4 90w that I use in my Triumph. Penrite makes <br>
a heavy steering box lube that I use in one car. I don't know how it <br>
compares to cornhead grease. I am surprised about how slow GM was to <br>
adopt more modern technology. Ford went to tapered roller wheel bearings <br>
around 1920 and pressure oiling about 1932. They got away from babbitted <br>
bearing in 1936 and started using oil filters about the same time. <br>
However, it was a bypass system, not full flow oil filtration. It is all <br>
eventually filtered (after it flow around enough times).<br>
