Stupid question here since I am just a novice with regard to model A's and merely making a socket which a whole lot of people seem to want, but..........

If Zenith was making these carbs for Ford or whatever, are there any records from, or a way to find records from, the Zenith company to determine exactly what they were supplying to Ford Motor Company?

Again, not trying to make a mess out of this, but I have become more and more curious about the real deal regarding this 13/32 gav.

I kinda liked forever4's thing about drawing correction or whatever. I know in those days as well, many manufacturers were trying to make things that could only be serviced by the dealers with the correct tools. This is still common practice today as a matter of fact.

In any event, once again I am not trying to screw this all up, but I really am curious as to what the real truth is behind the 13/32 gav.
