Oversized Tillotson - what does it fit?

2 Attachment(s)

Got this interesting, larger than normal Tillotson in a box of carburetors. Anyone out there know what cars it might fit? Has a 1 5/16" bore as opposed to the Model A version which is 1 1/8". Has an accelerator pump but does not have a GAV/choke mechanism - instead it uses a flexible choke cable. Possibly a replacement for the Zenith used on the Model B? I wondered if the intake manifold throat was bored out to match the bore of the carb would it work on a Model A. Would appreciate more information on what cars it was designed to be used on.

The Tillotson JR1 was used on Chrysler products in the updraft era.

Rotorwrench,
Thanks so much for that info! It will be up for sale at the next swap meet. Any ideas on years it was used - probably '20s and '30s ?
