Re: Did a Henry plant ever install Tillotsons as OEM?

Okay, well, I'll switch out to a Zenith. Even though I love the look of my brass Tilly on the green engine. All Hail Henry.

Did a Henry plant ever install Tillotsons as OEM?

I read that at some point an assembly line ran out of Zeniths and installed Tillotson carburetors for a while. True? What year? Do the judging standards say they are allowed for some chassis?

Re: body paint

After some research on mafca.org etc I learned Bronson Yellow is:
DuPont C8067 or PPG IM545 or BASF 22665
Go to a auto paint store show them those numbers and see what they say.

But can't find the black fender code though....
