Thanks Tony | | |

The rest of the carb goes into the "round" file.

Good carburetion is fuelish hot airThe most expensive carburetor is the wrong one you attempt to modify. If you truly believe "one size fits all," try walking a mile in your spouse's shoes!The Carburetor Shop | | |

The cross-flange adapter is useful for adapting a Zenith or Stromberg with the base turned 90 degrees to something else.
