I had problems with the Zenith Carb on my '30 coupe from Day One. So my brother had an old Tillotson that I then installed. No problem, has been running great. Well, except for those gas fumes that my wife complains about everytime she gets in the car. (there have been suggestions to leave her home, but that takes all the excitement out of the ride).

So at the recent MARC Membership meet in Perrysburg, Ohio, I described my Carb to a veteran A fella who claims that my Zenith Carb is from a Model B. There is no filter on the carb where the fuel line enters it.

If this is true, would I be best to find someone to rebuild it, it try to swap it out with a rebuilt (or new) A Carb?
