Downdraft Carburetors?

[DougVieyra]

How far do we 'stretch' "Period Correct" nomenclature ?
- 1928-1931 ?
- 1925-1935 ?
- '25 to pre-war (1942) ?
- Other ?

A little tighter sense of what we are talking about may produce a response that is a little closer to what you are asking.

My '28 Phaeton's 'touring' engine with stock Zenith / distributor runs very strong and 'snappy'.

My '31 Dlx Coupe, with Ron Kelley 'Touring Engine', with it's F.S. electronic ignition and Stromberg 97 carb., cast iron exhaust headers - runs like a scalded dog after a bitch in heat ! Just hearing the engine builds my adrenaline and chops ten years off my age.

I can't wait till I have my rig back on the road. Exact same set-up as Doug has.
