Pat_n_Pat Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 We found this carburetor in one of many boxes from my Father in Law's house. He collected just about everything; Marmon, Franklin, Rolls, Packard, Cadillac, Ford, etc over 60 years. He passed away about 16 years ago. There are no identifying marks other than those in the pictures. Any help would be greatly appreciated!Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Braverman Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 It looks like a Stromberg, and the model designation is consistant with other Strombergs I have seen. I don't know the application, but I'm pretty sure it's not Franklin. I could be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friartuck Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 This Stromberg O-3 updraft Carburetor is for model L Lincolns 1927-1930, and possibly as early as 1926. It does not have the Electro-Fog Generator attachment which means its after 1924-1925.

Ivan Saxton Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Basically the Stromberg O3 was also used on 4 cyl detacheable head Stutz of the early 1920's, Chrysler 80, some Pierce Arrow model 80, and Rochester Duesenberg engines in cars like Roamer and Revere, as well as Lincoln as stated. The vertical intake attachement would indicate that this one worked down in the V between the blocks of a Lincoln. (I am not very familiar with Lincoln because they were not sold in Australia, for two reasons. There was a car called the Lincoln Pioneer 6 made here from about 1916, which had prior rights to the trade name. Also There was really no room to mount a steering box on the right side because of engine accessories, and few people wanted left hand drive cars.)The model O defines the design system of the carb, while the number 3 refers to the throat size. Numbers 2 and 1 are much smaller.Ivan Saxton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Braverman Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 My grandfather had a 1930 Lincoln, and I don't remember that large vertical intake horn. Then again, maybe I just don't remember it. It did not have any electrical doohicky on its carburetor though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
