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???

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:

OBH = Office of Behavioral Health?? One Big Happy?? Online Booking Hotel?? Old Buckenham Hall??

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.

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

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.

Re: OBH(?) 1933 carb
 

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.
