Bought off eBay a neat accessory tool. An Engineair tire filler tool made by G.H. Meiser & Co in Chicago. It screws into a spark plug hole and uses the cylinder as an air compressor. My dad had one on his '48 GMC shop truck, and we used it to air test a long gas line that we had installed many moons ago, so kind of a nostalgic thing for me. It's complete with the wrench, gauge, etc. The hose is rotted away, but hopefully will be able to find some cloth braid covered hose and get it into operation. I got it cleaned up a bit tonight and looked up the patent info, and it was originally patented in 1930, and the latest in 1940. It has a pair of flapper inlet check valves to draw in fresh air so it doesn't pump as much gas-air mixture in.
