1922 Chevy "490" Touring Canadian - 12/12/17 08:41 PM
Does anyone know if a Canadian built Chevy "490" is different.
I don’t know if the Canadian models are different or if someone added a gas tank in the rear and the vacuum tank to mine. The FB model has these as standard. The “490” came with the gas tank under the seat and no vacuum tank. The wheel base on the FB is 110" and the “490” is 102" according to the manual for the 1922 Chevrolet. This car is about 103. The FB came with 33 x 4" tires. The “490” 30 x 31/2". This car has 30 x 31/2". The steering wheel is 15" in the "490" and 18" in the FB. My car has a 15" steering wheel. That is the reason for my question. The specifications for both engines are in the manual but are different. Bore is the same for both. I don't know for sure which Touring model I have a "490" or a Chevrolet "FB 50" Touring car. Could you purchase the rear gas tank and vacuum tank as an option on the "490"? Thanks
