I've used the stippling technique any number of times with complete success.

Back some years ago, in Dumont New Jersey.

1934 Packard Eight sedan. I average just about 10 mpg, regardless of around town or on the highway at perhaps 40-45 mph maximum.

First and second tools purchased, I had a car but still too young for a driver's permit. First, a pair of tire irons from Sears to deal with flat tires. Still have them but haven't used them in decades. Second a 6-volt battery charger also from Sears, still have it and use it today.

The number on the firewall plate (the patent plate) IS the vehIcle number, if you examine the plate you will note that the space where the number is provided is actually captioned "VEHICLE NUMBER".

That device isn't original to your car, it's a post WWII aftermarket device so why not just eliminate it completely, if your fuel delivery system is stock you shouldn't need it. And if the fuel delivery system on your car has been modified and you need a pressure regulator, then purchase a modern device compatible with today's gasoline.

Much as I detest the ethanol-laced gasoline on scientific and economic grounds, I can say I've really had no problems with its use in my 1934 Packard. My carburetor was rebuilt in the 1970s by Doug Heinmuller and has never been touched since, no problems. Fuel pump by Art Gould about 2001, likewise no problems. No vapor lock issues or problems with lines or the tank. I do lay up the car for several months during the winter, and use a gasoline stabilizer at that time.

My setup which I bought used in the 70s from a mechanic servicing marine engines is primarily Black & Decker. If you can find something like this, snap it up.

Thanks for the help folks, much appreciated.

Ed, thanks for chiming in - I'm quite familiar with your cautions and comments and do have the correct and properly functioning EE-22 on my '34 Packard. But these carbs are extremely hard to find, plus their castings aren't particularly robust. Thus I bought the one in question purely as a source of whatever parts it might have in common with my correct one and was trying to establish it's original application.

Thanks for correcting me on the casting # versus carburetor number. On the bowl casting it is identified as "EE-22". No idea what the original application was? Another question if I may, is the bowl casting interchangeable with the one on my 1934 Packard Eight (1100)?

Model EE-22 dual downdraft, carburetor # P17922. Venturi size1-3/32. Equipped for a manual choke. I can't find this one listed in my Stromberg information, can anyone identify what vehicle make/year this was intended for?

1936 was the last year for wooden spoke wheels on Packard, and then only on the "senior' series of cars.

Similar Rollston body mounted on a 1934 Eight 1101 chassis.

Another Rollston TC with similar windshield treatment.

Can't confirm w/o measurements but appears to be for Packard 1948-1950 Custom 8 (356 engine), and perhaps earlier.

American Arrow, if you are interested in a outstanding quality reproduction.

Is your electric pump rotary or pulse style? If rotary, chances are the mechanical pump cannot pull thru it when it is not in operation. Depending on how your system is plumbed, this may or may not be an issue. Mechanical pumps pull easily thru pulse or solenoid-type electric fuel pumps, but not rotary types.

Here's a 2017 photo of the late Herb Singe's Palmer Singer, a veteran of many, many tours.

B-K was bought out by Bendix about 1933-34. Bendix was providing service information thru the early 60s when i wrote them and received a service manual for the unit in my 1934 Packard, so information is out there. B-K also published service manuals which I've seen occasionally at larger flea markets like Rhinebeck NY. And many of the service parts have been reproduced and are available from whomever took over that business from Classic & Exotic in Troy, MI. I hope this is helpful.

Nearly three years ago I bought and installed new 7.00 x 17 tires with metal-stem inner tubes my Packard. The tubes were Firestone label, made in China. Two plus years of driving, no problems whatsoever, tubes lose about 2-3 psi during winter storage (about 4 months). Tubes and tires (Bedford Famous Coach) from Kelsey Tire.

I'm unsure of where you got your rear axle ratio information but if the rear axle is still stock, it's incorrect. The factory standard ratio for the Patrician with Ultramatic transmssion was 3.54.

Iceland's last government Packard was a 1955 or 1956 Patrician which unfortunately proved so tempermental that it was quickly returned.

I remember Art Brummer, I guess it was in the late '60s or early 70s that I purchased many of his brass or bronze reproductions of the die-cast trim parts for my 1934 Packard which I had bought in 1963 or 4 from Ed Jurist of Vintage Car Store in Nyack. Anyone remember Ed?

Wire spoke wheels were available on the senior Packards in 1936, but they were not offered for the 120 model.
