Joop, I don't know the answer to your question but I have to say you have a nice collection of Simmons items there. I would like to eventually acquire the head and intake to go with my carb, just like you have there. My compliments.

Post Edit: I didn't realize until later that your carb is a late 31. Very nice find.

HELP! Any info out there.


Hi Craig

I do own the Manifold and Carburetor but not the Head, still looking for one.

Carb runs great on my car and idle is just superb.

What does the combustion chamber look like?

Never mind, I found pics elsewhere. Be easy enough to make those.

I don't know the correct color but I would probably paint them red. Red usually signifies performance. The original Winfield 7 to 1 heads were red . My dual updraft Trojan and Uni Flow intake manifolds are red. My Simmons carbs are all black except the alloy versions .

Shhh! Some people dont know that red motors automatically run 10 mph faster because of the color.

Logan, You are correct . If I ever get around to putting another speedster together, I'll paint the whole engine red !!!

I have seen Model T Simmons heads that are black with gold color letters.
But would love to know the color combo for the A head.

I don't know if this is relevant but I had an assemble care from the '20s that had a Swan manifold on its Lycoming engine and the manifold was black.

I have a Simmons intake and 5 carbs of which 3 are restored....will sell but would like to keep and find a head to go with it....

My Simmons came in green, not sure if that was how it was born?

Ignore the distributor wiring, I now have the conduit :)
