Mark Shaw Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 One of my Buick Buddies has this Marvel carb/Heat Riser & needs to know what year and engine size it fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ronhos Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Mark,I know that some of the early Buicks used a Marvel carb with a heat riser just like the 1929 Essex. The Marvel carb on the 1929 Essex is a Marvel V-10-733 or Marvel V-10-722.Do you know if your friend is interested in selling the carburetor? I am definitely interested if you can determine what model of Marvel carb it is and if it will work with my 1929 Essex, SuperSix? I found the information listed below on a ClassicCar forum:1927 Hudson - Marvel B-10-661As for Essex - one source (a 1929-1937 National Service Manual) lists the following: (Maarvel Carburetors)VE-3-10-917 - 1931 EssexVE-3-10-995 - 1932 Essex first cars;VE-3-10-1505 - 1932 Essex laterAnother source as follows: (Marvel Carburetors)V-10-733 - 1929 EssexV-10-780 - 1930 EssexV-10-997 - 1931-1932 EssexThe 1929 Essex used a Model V marvel. The model E was used on '28-29-and '30 Hudsons, but even then they had slight differences, which just goes to prove Murphy's law "Interchangeable parts inevitable exhibit fundamental differences." The "E" designation was the basic type, but the actual carburettors as used on Nash, Buick, and Hudson although all called Model E, were all slightly idfferent in application, as in actuation of the high speed Jet, heat by-pass, etc. If you had a Model VE, you could probably get away with using on the '29 Essex, providing it fits the intake okay. I think the main difference was in the accelerator pump capacity, but you may have to look at jet sizes as well. Good luck,Regards,Ron Hostinerhostine@charter.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Shaw Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 Ron, I think he first wants to ID the carb/heat riser. He did not indicate that he wanted to sell it. However, I will be glad to forward your comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do provide rebuilding kits for those who wish to do their own.And Mark, I couldn't identify the carb/riser from the pictures, HOWEVER; here is a link to help identify Marvels from the casting numbers (if the tiny identification number is difficult to find).http://www.thecarburetorshop.com/Marvel_Casting_Numbers.htmJon (carbking).

Guest outlaw car man Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Depends on the model, I think you said you have a model 50, which would be 146-615 ( complete ) For my 90 it's 146- 612. I see no 146-117 anywhere, up or down in years , maybe a Hudson or something ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
