Mark Shaw Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 That appears to be an updraft carb for a car in the Teens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Rohn Posted November 22, 2008 Author Share Posted November 22, 2008 I thought so at first but where would the "updraft" go? there is only an air intake (I think), no "goesouta" exit that I can tell ...all the Detroit Lubricator carbs I have seen say "CARBURETOR" on the plate, this one appears to say "STEWART" whatever that means ...

Layden B Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 It is incomplete, there would be a cast iron right angle part to attach this updraft section to the side of the engine. It is for 4 cylinder Dodge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl B. Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 How about this for gozinta and gozouta???...B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Rohn Posted November 22, 2008 Author Share Posted November 22, 2008 I think your "in" could be for fuel but your "out" would have to be the "in" for air intake, there is just no place for the "out" going into the manifold nor any place to add onto this to have it go somewhere ...

Layden B Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Third picture is top of carb. Float bowl cover has all the lettering and round part at 2 o'clock from the bowl is mixture out, the remaining bolt and empty hole location would hold on the elbow/ throttle section. Doesn't look like mixed air goes out there but it does! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Rohn Posted November 22, 2008 Author Share Posted November 22, 2008 ok, like this then? air in, then mixed around with the gasoline, then out through that tiny little hole? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbking Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Layden B is correct on the application.The "out" is the top of the aspirator valve/dashpot; which moves up to allow more airflow as RPM is increased.The 90 degree throttle body mentioned by Layden attached on top of the "out". As the throttle body changes the direction of the mixture so that it enters the engine horizontally, this carburetor is technically a "sidedraft" rather than an "updraft".Really one of the better carburetors in its day.
