Re: Check your jets on rebuilt carbs
Hi Christian,
Tested a few original jets in my carburetor junk pile a few years ago -- all numbered ones were right on.
It has been advised very often by many kind folks not to discard anything orignal unless totally unserviceable.
Also, in trying to get a new distributor body that fits an original distributor, (with little or no loose play), not long ago I bought a dozen or so from different Model A vendors; however, even though new, they all fit very loosely about like stockings on a chicken.
Gap between new rotors & distributor body contacts varies "drastically" when one slightly moves the distributor body in any direction.
Have one (1) original distributor body with "Ford" Script -- appearance ??? -- looks like Moses used it for a tea cup while crossing the Sinai Desert in departing Egypt -- but it fits tightly with no play -- again, original.
