No, it's a early 1930's Winfield SR-B carburetor. The only challenge I have with this combination is getting fuel to it (no fuel pump on the A motor and it's got a '27 roadster body on it, so gravity feed won't work). As my goal was a true period-correct late 30's-early 40's hot rod, I ended up using a hand pump from a '22 Cadillac to pressurize the fuel tank.

Carb;


Hand pump;


Pressure gauge (from a 1918 Dodge);


To maintain pressure in the tank, I needed a non-vented gas cap...I lucked out and found this '22 Cadillac cap; it's got a neat pressure release valve built in (the T-shaped bolt threads into the cap and puts pressure on the steel disc and leather seal);


Sorry for all the non-stock discussion.
