Hello all,
I recently went through some boxes of my father's and have found many carbs and was kind of wondering if anyone could tell me about each of them and if they are of any value in the T world.

The second one is a simmons straight thru, that last looks like a Chebby.

That Tillotson looks like a carburetor made to fit a Model A. Not an original carburetor, but one which was available for aftermarket use on the Model A.

The first is marked Zenith, but I am not familiar with them for a T. However, even though it is on a T manifold, I wonder how the width of the unit would fit inside the frame rail. Others may be able to shine a light on it.

The top carb, if you look close at the 2ed photo, looks like a plug on the other side from where the fuel bowl is now mounted. Might just need to swap the fuel bowl to the other side. Some of the Zenith carbs like that, you could mount the fuel bowl in different configurations. Maybe?

# 4 & #5 I think are carters for chevrolet. #6 is a after market for Model A. The first is very interesting would love to know more.

The DRJH-0 Carter with the Brass bowl is for the 1928 Pontiac. It's very similar to the Chevrolet except the mounting flange's bolt pattern is rotated 90 degrees.

Very interesting. My dad was in A LOT of hobbies while I was growing up and unfortunately since my parents were divorced I had only seen him every other weekend. The times we did have were nothing but pure fun and enjoyment. I think that's the hardest part about losing a parent is when you have to go through their stuff and you start finding all of these things and they aren't there for you to be able to ask those questions. Every time someone passes away a library burns. That phrase couldn't be anymore true. I appreciate all of the information on these. Now if I could only find out what the heck that Zenith carb is.
