broadstreet3 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I'm looking for a listing of Marvel updraft carb numbers (10-157 etc.) and their applications. I know that this list was published in a magazine called "Skinned Knuckles" several years ago, but have been unable to track this down. Any help greatly appreciated.

carbdoc Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Rand,I was supposed to send you a copy of the Marvel information I have -- sorry! I will get it out to you tomorrow, but I warn you: it is only "so helpful". The best way I have found to use it is to cross-reference the jet and fitting numbers to the carb with which you are currently working. The "10-" numbers on the choke/air valve body don't always tell the whole story -- and I'm not even sure that they are referenced on the spec sheet (I don't have it in front of me right now)!Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbking Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Rand - Marvel carburetors are a pain in the you-pick-the-anatomy-part to identify. This page on our website may help you: Carburetor identification Note that the number you mentioned (10-157) is a CASTING number, not an identification number. Marvel identification numbers are 10-501 and above.Jon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest oakland Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I have a Marvel carburetor on my 29 Oakland also. You will find that the raised letters that you refer to is the casting number. There should be stamped numbers on your carburetor that identifies the model. Mine was found on the top flange of the carburetor where it mounts to the intake manifold. Mine was a 10 708. You can log onto www.thecarburetorshop.com, and find out information about Marvel and Zenith carburetors. You can send them questions and they can help you. They sell rebuild kits etc. Hope this helps you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbdoc Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Oakland,I wonder if all Marvels have the model number stamped onto that flange; if so, I have apparently overlooked it. Are you finding this on the "Marvel Heat Control System" casting, or on the iron casting which houses the choke and the air valve below it?Manuel,Call V.E. Peterson in Wahlbridge, OH at 800-537-6212 and ask for "Jack"; he's the obsolete carb parts guy. Peterson is the biggest Zenith parts outlet in the U.S. and if they don't have the parts or info for you, nobody does. But please DON'T tell them that I gave you their toll-free number when you call from the other side of the world, OK?Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbking Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Jeff - take a look at the "carburetor identification" link in a previous post in this thread. Only a few of the Marvels have the number stamped on the edge of the flange.Jon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oakland Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Carbdoc: The numbers that I refered to were stamped on the top mounting flange, where it mounts to the intake manifold. The previous post refering you to carburetor identifications is the same post that I am refering to. They say that some are stamped on the bottom of the bowl also.
