It has a Zenith carburetor (I assume the original one, although it might have been rebuilt sometime in its past). I've only owned the truck for a few months, and when I first got it I noticed that it struggled getting up some of the hilly roads around where I live. So, I had a Model A mechanic from the local club put a high compression head on it (as well as some other things). I've driven it a lot more since I got it back with the new head. So, the only thing I can compare it to is my '30 coupe, which has a Tillotson carburetor on it - no issues at all getting up the hills or losing power after a long tough drive. I originally thought it might be a carburetor issue until another member in the local Model A club mentioned he had similar issues and it was the coil.
