Asked by Wiki User

The first car manufacturers in the world were French: Panhard & Levassor (1889) and Peugeot (1891). Rene Panhard and Emile Levassor were partners in a woodworking machinery business, when they decided to become car manufacturers. They built their first car in 1890 using a Daimler engine. America's first gasoline-powered commercial car manufacturers were Charles and Frank Duryea. The brothers were bicycle makers who became interested in gasoline engines and automobiles and built their first motor vehicle in 1893, in Springfield, Massachusetts. By 1896, the Duryea Motor Wagon Company had sold thirteen models of the Duryea, an expensive limousine, which remained in production into the 1920s. The first automobile to be mass produced in the United States was the 1901, Curved Dash Oldsmobile, built by the American car manufacturer Ransome Eli Olds (1864-1950).

Where is the convertible top motor located in a 1969 delta 88?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I is not really a motor, it is an electric hydraulc pump, it is located under the rear part of the top on one of the sides of the car Usually behind the rear upholstery panel (where the rear passenger door would be if it was a 4 door car), if you cannot find it, follow the cables on the inside of the convertible top frame until you get to the actuating cylinder, you will find a long hydraulic cylinder under the rear of the top, follow the hoses.

Is a 1967 442 hotter than a 1968 442?

Asked by PIPKORN

It depends, it seems GM in those days lied about horsepower (they lowballed them), and "tuned" several engines with hotter cams and bigger valves so these cars would be faster, this was kind of a lottery, it was really an advertising thing, so many cars of the time wer milder or hotter depending on what the factory chose to do on that particular car.

Is the fuel is ignIted during the combustion cycle by the exhaust manifold?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Nope, the manifold carries out the burnt fuel air mixture (usually 14/1) then it enters the cylinder through the intake valve, then after the piston reaches the top on the compression stroke, your distributor connects the high voltage ignition coil to the spark plug wire, inside the cylinder the spark jumps across the gap between the electrodes of the spark plug and THAT is what ignites the fuel...

Now, if the timing is off, or the mixture too rich, some unburnt mixture could go into the exhaust manifold, and the high temperature there might cause it to ignite there, but that is caled a backfire, the noise is like a shotgun and flames go out the exhaust pipe and it may blow up your muffler, but that is very wrong, it shouldn't happen.
