Re: Marvel carb
The Marvel I have came with my Coupe in 1958 ...... former owner said the carburetor was almost new and from Sears ..... with Amoco white, lead free gas, we averaged 28 mpg going to and from work every day at 40-45 mph, on rural non-stop gravel roads .... we traveled approximately 20 miles round trip each day.
Because of bowl shape and design, never even heard of a Model A engine killing at sudden stops and/or sharp curves like with that of a Zenith.
Rainmaker Ron used to always comment that if you get a good carburetor .... it probably was never improperly rebuilt and/or never improperly cleaned ....... leave it alone and just keep it.
