The original carbs were made of heavy cast iron, so I'm useing an aftermarket Model B carb, which is made out of pot metal...much lighter.Chuck GantzerWichita KS________________________________________________________________________________Date: Mon, 06 Mar 2000 06:37:50 -0600

The model B carburetors are a bit harder to find than an A, although I'msure you have already found this out. I didn't see where you live, but inthe Northeast, the antique car shows at Hershey and Carlisle Pennsylvaniaare a great place to locate these. As an alternative, there is aTillotosen (sp?) cast aluminum carburetor that is an after-market for theA-B that works great. These are less expensive. Also, you can buy aHemmings Motor News magazine, the Trade-A-Plane of antique cars. Hemmingsalways has lots of listings for A parts.________________________________________________________________________________
