Manuel Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Looks like a Detroit Lubricator carby from here. They were used on the very first Ford V8's, 1932 - 1933.They only had a single throat. Ford then went to the 2 bbl Strommy. A lot of the 1 bbl's were ditched over the years and the cars were converted to the 2 bbl.Manuel in Oz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest seetz Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Manuel thanks a lot, you're absolutely right! I poked around a bit in the dirt, and found D.L.C. in raised letters on the side of the carb. absolutely 32-33 flathead. appreciate it!! (or as my Australian friends would say: "cheers mate!")
