Will it Run? 1927 Chrysler 2-Door Sedan

[@chrisreynolds6520]

The canister on the firewall connected to the fuel tank, carb and intake manifold is the vacuum fuel pump. It draws fuel from the tank and feeds the carb. They work very well, those carbs are not designed for a real fuel pump. The needle and seat are designed for gravity feed pressure only.

[@RealSteelFabrications]

Ya, that’s probably why the carb was leaking… we will see if we can get it all hooked up Correctly

[@sunnyormsby8402]

hahaha...yup an old car...great find!😄

[@RealSteelFabrications]

Thanks 👍

[@NathansMoparGarage]

Cool find and looks like the previous owner took good care of it.

[@RealSteelFabrications]

Thanks! It’s in super good shape. Deserves a full restoration.

I have a 1926 Chrysler Roadster with rumble seat. You have a great find there. Very rare to find such a complete car. I can’t believe the old gal ran that great. I hope you don’t modernize such a complete original car. Fords are a dime a dozen, but Chryslers of this vintage are rare. Keep it original. Just to tell you a few things you didn’t know what they were. You are correct, gas can be controlled on steering wheel or pedal on floorboard. Other solid on floorboard is just a footrest for gas pedal. On the firewall, drivers side is brake pump to prime hydraulic brakes. Towards center of firewall ( large canister) is oil filter. On passenger side firewall is vacuum fuel canister that holds gasoline. Vacuum pulled fuel from tank to this fuel canister and then gravity from that fuel canister to updraft carburetor.

Thanks for the info 👍👍👍

[@RealSteelFabrications]

She runs fantastic. I need to figure out what series it is. I think it might be a 70 but not sure yet. I was wanting to make a good drivable car I could drive anywhere but after seeing how complete and original it is, it deserves to be put back to factory form I believe. Would be a shame to hack it up. I am to much of a purest for all of that. Thanks for the info, this thing is super simple, but very different than anything I’ve messed with.

[@brandonlisenby6752]

That’s an awesome score hope you have time to restore it back to its original form

[@RealSteelFabrications]

It’s in extremely good shape. It appears it was originally blue which seemed a little odd to me

[@brandonlisenby6752]

@@RealSteelFabrications early cars were one of about five colors and Chrysler had a great looking dark blue.

Positive ground creates better spark to the spark plugs. Just a simple way of explaining it without getting too technical lol

[@RealSteelFabrications]

Good to know. Dad and I had no clue. Just knew a lot of older stuff was that way.

[@brandonlisenby6752]

@@RealSteelFabrications A lot of people think more voltage is better for starting but If it doesn’t start on 6 volts it’s not going to start with 12 volts I grew up on the 6 volt system. A little trick with 6 volt system is getting an 8 volt battery to spend the starter faster.

Glad you liked it! Appreciate the continued support.

[@zak1955]

All cars were positive ground till 1955. Please do not hack this car up, as it is a rare and valuable historic vehicle in it's original and complete condition! Many times I have seen people change these cars because they thought it would be cool, only to regret it later after it's to late! It's kind of like getting a tattoo. When you get older and wiser, you sometimes wish you hadn't got it because your tastes have changed. It will never drive fast and handle like newer cars no matter what you try to do or change on it because that's how it was designed! It is probably not going to ever be your main driver car anyway. Just remember to think carefully while you still can with this car.

[@RealSteelFabrications]

I think you’re completely right! It will be a good car to use for fairs or trailer close to car shows and drive it in a short distance. It’s very solid and to complete. I want to do a period correct restoration on it.

[@anonymuswere]

@@RealSteelFabrications you've got to assume pre war at least are all unsynch "dogleg" trannys. spent a lot of time in the back of a 30 Dodge Senior Six in the eighties, and I DID observe a few things. at least YOU could reach the pedals. my stepdad had me bump the starter while trying to figure out the carb problem, and I could barely reach anything...I'm still trying to figure out how early 20th century people that tended to top out at 5 foot four drove some of the bigger ones with the war back fixed seats :P
