Zenith 3 bottom only

I am not up on Zeniths. What makes a 3 so special?

"Middle range" knowledge. To me a Zenith 3 is a "cost cutting" Zenith which as Vince Falter says "dropped once virtually guarantees breakage."

But each to their own (Said the farmer as he kissed his cow.)

More interesting are the rarer "oddballs" such as the Mochi, the Simson Variants (and there are a bunch) or even the "replacement" Zeniths - of which there are a bunch.

Someone has found a "prototype" Model A carburetor which was unique in appearing more like the Model T Kingston - but included the angled GAV and was very obviously applied to Model A production. One of those Carbs which Ford "set aside" in his relationship with the Holley and Zenith companies?

I haven't seen of this since about 2010.




Vince Falter at Fordgarage.com has several pix. We have discussed this and another similar at https://fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?p=119750


MUCH more interesting.
