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 http://www.oldmarineengine.com/discus/messages/3454/5589.html Hope this helps Ernie |

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 ! 1908 * |
