Ron Hausmann If you are interested in the carburetor you can email me at mikeybdy1@gmail.com

I googled "Gretz Super Eliminator" and came up with nothing. So I thought I would include it here and see if anyone had any idea. They had cast parts with their name on it so...

I was wondering if anyone might be familiar with this?

Ron Hausmann - I tried to send a pm but I have not met the traffic minimum to be allowed to do so. If you would like to send me an email you can reach me at mikeybdy1@gmail.com Mike

Ron- I took a video with my phone showing that all the linkages move freely but I can't attach it here because it's an mov extension. The pics show the flange, writing on the side of the bowl, fitting on the bottom of the bowl which appears to be bent and what looks like a repair to that fitting, the float in great shape and mechanism on the bottom of float bowl cover moves freely, interior of the bowl. The float bowl cover has one screw and no gasket. The intake "cowl" has one screw. All the attachment hole threads are good. The picture of the throat/venturi shows at the bottom edge of the venturi seems to have a piece broken out of it. That is the best pic I could get of it. Let me know what you think. Mike

Ron, Are there any particulars you need to know about the OC-2?

Exactly, on mine it just happens to be on the end where your "fuemer" is located.

Paul - Unfortunately there is only a threaded hole about 2/3 of the way up on the bowl. I am constantly amazed at the innovative thinking that inspired these modifications.

Paul, Mark, The OE-1s, I have four, are striped bodies so as I am beginning to understand the linkage is what would define it's specific application. I am surprised the the numbers stamped into the bodies don't offer more help in tracing down their origins.

Jon - The Holleys are 1914 patent date cast into the top plate, sorry not a model #. Of all the list the OC-2 is the most complete. Here are pics of the OT-2. Something else I got that I had neve seen before is Champion Priming Plug. I'm gonna guess that you are familiar with it, but it was something new to me.

Thanks for the quick response Jon. I had found your website and called, but it was Friday and as your message states Mon and Tues are the days to call. So I have been starting to Google the models and have had a little success but still a long way to go. What I got are OE-1, OC-2, O-1, OA-1, M-1 and OT-2. A couple Holleys 1914, A Krice 1910 tagged as marine or stationary engine, a Monach Valve Co. and Schebler Mod R. Its an interesting assortment. In starting researching I have found my way to a couple of forums and run across comments and instruction from the guy who's estate I acquired these from. You may have dealt with him in the past, his name was Stan Howe. If these are even remotely useable, I'd like to get them into the hands of the people who can make use of them. I got them out of a sense of nostalgia I guess. When things were much simpler and you didn't need a $5000 computer and a Phd to be able to diagnose why your truck is idling rough. Anyhow the help is greatly appreciated. Thanks again. Mike

I was wondering if someone here might be able to help identify an updraft carburetor body I picked up at an estate sale. Seemed the guy was big into Ford Model A and T and there was a lifetime collection of parts. I got about 7 of these bodies in various stages of disassembly. They appear to be brass. I haven't had much luck yet searching the Internet trying to identify them, so any help would be appreciated.
