Dual Ejector Exhaust Mani
fold and Special Design

The Sun Light Six which is built by
the Sun Motor Car Company, Elkhart,
Ind, is high-powered light weight
six-cylinder car selling at $1O95. 1t
is an exclusive Sun design and much
attention has been paid to mechanical
refinement. The wheelbase is 116
inches. long enough to give easy rid
ing and ample room in the body and
yet short enough to be handled easily
in city streets through congested traf-
f1c.
The motor is of the high speed. high
efficiency type. guaranteed to develop
90 horsepower on the block test. 1t
is an L-head design with the valves
located on the right side. The crank
case is cast integral with the cylinder
casting and the cylinder head is re-
movable. The motor is exceedingly
simple and compact yet readily acces-
sible.
The manufacturers state that it has
been their aim to design a car that
would operate economically even
When the lowest grade of gasoline is
used. Both the intake manifold and
the hot air connection are cast in

2O-gallon gasoline tank is located at
the rear of the chassis and gasoline is
fed TO the carburetor by the Stewart
vacuum system. The Rayfield car

equipment.
The valves are large in diameter.
the pistons are very light, and the
three bearing crankshaft is balanced

An exclusive Sun design "dual-

is divided into two divisions which all
though connected give the effect of
two independent manifolds as the ex
haust gases from the three front
cylinders are handled Independently
oa ene three rear cylinders. These
gases are separated by a web that is
cast within the manifold outlet, A
slight web Is also cast at each cvlin-
der division in the manifold. which
guides the gas in the right direction.
thereby preventing it from causing a
PACK pressure on the other cylinders.
Furthermore, the act of the gas rush

the direction of the outlet causes a

The valve operating mechanism is
