OBH(?) 1933 carb

Re: OBH(?) 1933 carb
 

Excuse my ignorance but can you define "OBH"? IF you are adhearing to "Original" as built standards for 1933, Detroit Lubricator is the carburetor you are referring to???

Re: OBH(?) 1933 carb
 

WHY in heck do you find it necessary to continue making posts that make no sense to anyone besides yourself? All of our REGULAR participants seem to speak good-enough English that they should be able to figure-out and understand reasonably intelligent and qualified questions asked in a normal, explanatory manner. But what do I know?

I you're talking about needing help with a Detroit Lubricator carburetor, Charlie Schwendler is the only person I know that will touch one of those abortions.

An on-line Google search of "OBH" gave the following:

Re: OBH(?) 1933 carb
 

It's a simple question, simply 'put'.

'OBH' is on this '33 ford carburetor. Is OBH familiar to anyone? If so, what does it represent?

Also, this carburetor has 'Lincoln 12V Zepher'. Now, is anyone familiar with that, other than being on a 'Lincoln 12V Zepher' carburetor? What is the significance of 'Lincoln 12V Zepher' on a carburetor? No mystery there. Obviously the past 87 years, the '33 Lubricator has been removed; replaced with this 'Lincoln 12V Zepher'

I am not apologizing for a simple question.

Re: OBH(?) 1933 carb
 

That is not a Detroit Lubricator, nor is it for a ‘33 car. It is a Holley built carburetor for a Lincoln Zephyr V12.

They are harder to come by than the V8 carbs, stands to reason. Later versions had a 4 bolt base, earlier, I think til 41-42, had 3 bolt base. Other than the script, 2 other differences, one being the Venturi size, two being the reverse throttle arm. Not uncommon to see a V8 throttle arm on a LZ carb.

Could it be 'O6H'??? -
1942-1948 Lincoln Zephyr V-12 Model 06H

Re: OBH(?) 1933 carb
 

AND.....Obviously after 87 years, so has the original "correct" intake manifold as well!!!

Re: OBH(?) 1933 carb
 

highbeams, nobody asked you to apologize, but just a question mark isn't a question in itself. What we can tell you about your carb is yes, it was originally on a Lincoln V12, and no, it is not a Ford Holley model 94. The venturi is 1 1/16", a little larger than the model 94, which has a venturi of .94". It should work just fine on any Ford V8.

Re: OBH(?) 1933 carb
 

A pic would have been worth a thousand words. It would appear you have a two barrel manifold {unknown Ford v8}and a Lincoln carb. If you want to make the engine run right, get a good Stromberg 97 and put on it.

Re: OBH(?) 1933 carb
 

Thank you much, JimTN!

Re: OBH(?) 1933 carb
 

Does your OBH carburetor have a two bolt flange or a three bolt Flange. If it is a 3 bolt, then your intake is not a 33. If it is two bolt flange and your intake has a two bolt flange, then have Charlie rebuild the carb. If you need / want a original 33 Detroit Lubricator carburetor, I have one for sale for $50.00. All the linkage is correct. Like all old carbs, it should be rebuild. I also have a nice 33 intake for $100.00. If you are interested, click on my 35 Roadster picture and send me a private message or an email.

Re: OBH(?) 1933 carb
 

Thank you, Alan! As I said, 'top speed' w/this carburetor was a bucking jerking 15 mph.

Re: OBH(?) 1933 carb
 

rockfla: That is the one! I'm getting a Detroit Lubricator and a '33 intake manifold to replace whatever it is on this car - I've just heard from a knowledgeable member that has a very reasonable offer.
He said the manifold is not a back-then Ford product; advised me to have the Detroit Lubricator 'rebuilt' when I receive it, simply because it's old. Do you know of a reputable rebuilder?

Thanks, rockfla! Welll, a good tip on '34 manifold and a Stromberg 97 is my best bet.

Re: OBH(?) 1933 carb
 

Highbeams: If you're looking for solid drivability, I would not be running a Detroit Lubricator (unless total originality is your goal).

I would have the Detroit Lubricator rebuilt and then I'd store it and the original 33 manifold away.

Then I would find a 1934 manifold and put a new Stromberg 97 carb on the car. It will run a LOT better, have more horsepower and be a much better driving car with the Stromberg 97.

It's a code for "This is a good carburetor depending on who you ask."

Re: OBH(?) 1933 carb
 

Bored and Stroked-

Thank you for the big tip! What is available regarding Stromberg 97? and where?

Re: OBH(?) 1933 carb
 

Thanks, Steve. I'm going for a Stromberg 97.

I appreciate the offer.

A lot to cover for you SO i will start with Bored&Stroked post above, there is another option where you can keep the correct 33 intake and still get either a 48 or 97 “convenience” over a DL. I have these adapters that bolt directly to the 2 bolt base 33 intake and allow the use of three bolt carburetors like the 48 or 97. It keeps you from having to change intakes IF you want 100% 33 original. I did this on my 32. it takes me less than 30 mins to convert my 32 back to the DL and 100% original. The main modification I had to make for my 32 with the 48 carburetor was the choke rod. Not sure how the 97 would do with that and the location of the lever?? Here is my 32 with the adapter and a 48 carb on it and the adapters, IF you wish, I can modify and sell you one of my two adapters.

Re: OBH(?) 1933 carb
 

Sorry I don’t have my 32 intake handy to shoot a photo of it but here is the correct 33 intake you seek. The 32 looks the same but has a complete different generator mount than a 33, 32 is a post mount so most noticeable. 34 will not have two openings rear of the carburetor for the oil fill tube and the fuel pump like the 33 does PLUS a 34 will be a three bolt carburetor base. your other quest IF you decide to go with the 33 intake is you will need to find the correct fuel pump and most likely fuel push rod too!!!

Re: OBH(?) 1933 carb
 

If you need OR are interested, here is a 33 DL I have as a spare as well. IF you want to have the correct DL for shows, Charlie Schwindler has done two of them
for me. If you decide you want mine I can send it to Charlie directly IF you wish, they are not cheap to rebuild compared to a 48, 97 or a 99 so know that going in. Also you cannot tell just by looks and relative cleanliness IF it can rebuilt or not SO I personally wouldn’t pay a lot for one as they are a crap shoot IF they can be rebuilt or not!!! So.

Re: OBH(?) 1933 carb
 

Highbeams - you want to talk to our very own Uncle Max. He is a distributor for the new Stromberg 97 carbs - they are a better than perfect reproduction of the originals. I use them on a LOT of performance builds.

I used to rebuild originals (and still do at times), but the best way to go is with a brand new carb.

Re: OBH(?) 1933 carb
 

IF you decide to go with a 33 intake this is the fuel
pump you seek for the 33 which was a carry over from 1932.

IF you post photos of what you have now, and what you are trying to accomplish ie, 100% stock, 75% stock looking, don't care about stock etc etc we can refine and BEST direct and advise you.

Re: OBH(?) 1933 carb
 

Maybe a picture of the entire engine is in order . Who knows , it may have been replaced with a newer flathead .

Re: OBH(?) 1933 carb
 

Here is a pic of my '33 std tudor engine comartment with a '34 intake and the New 97 from Stromberg in UK. Runs like a dream

Re: OBH(?) 1933 carb
 

Re: OBH(?) 1933 carb
 

Gmac: It is a '33 flathead. It has the oiling tube to the throwout bearing. Only '33s had that. There is the little 'pencil ledge' front of engine above the distributor; i.e., just wide enough to hold a number 2 pencil.
