ShawnLancaster Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 I pulled this out of a barn, no numbering just "The Simmons Mfg Co" and a few patent #s. Any ideas on an application. Looks like it was never on a car. Thanks, Shawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbking Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Simmons was one of the "my dog is better than your dog" aftermarket carburetor manufacturers. I have seen Simmons replacements for Ford T, Ford A, and 1929-1931 Chevrolet. My GUESS would be this was a replacement for a 1932 Chevrolet. Should make a decent paperweight. Jon.

carbking Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 (edited) Revisited your pictures. One of the pictures appears to have a ball connection for the throttle, which would suggest possibly 1932 Ford rather than Chevrolet. Both used an S.A.E. size 2 (2 11/16 c-c) mounting flange. My initial guess of Chevrolet was because of the bowl cover, pump, and pump linkage, which is exceptionally similar to the Carter used on the Chevrolet, even to the exact location of the fuel inlet. The Ford fuel inlet is in a different area. Jon. Edited July 15, 2019 by carbking (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
