Anyone know the manufacturer or any other info on this one? Solid flywheel, flat six bolt heads, interesting manifold. No numbers or letters found except on carb: Holley Dec 22 1914. Any help will be appreciated.

Carb is Model T Ford
My best guess on the engine is part of the Wonder Family.
Specifically RM Cornwall

Thanks Ernie, I did a search on Wonder engines and I think we can positively label this one as a Wonder. I found that there is one almost identical to mine at the Antique Boat Museum in Clayton which is only an hour drive for me. The thing I am most curious about is the lack of a bevel gear driven timer which most of the pictures I found have. Mine doesn't have room on the crankshaft for a gear but has some sort of eccentric or cam connected to some linkage. Any idea on this topic?

Thanks

Rick

Your engine is an early one, before 1910 wonder engines had lever timers !

Bruce, I checked my junk email folder and my spam filter. I should be able to receive email from you but did not get it. Please try again.

Thanks

Rick
