After 1932 model b intake?
 

1 Attachment(s)
I never noticed until recently that the intake form my car seems to have an extra input/vacuum? connection. Is this a more recent model B intake? What was the extra input for?

No, it is the earliest version where the large vacuum opening in the front was to provide vacuum through a pipe that was routed around the front of the engine to a vacuum-assisted clutch that never made into production. The second smaller opening on the side directly above where the carburetor attaches is for the vacuum line to the windshield wiper motor.

Thanks Dave. I remember reading about the Clutch that never happened. Didn't remember seeing the intake though.

They are not especially scarce.
