Here are the horsepower and torque curves for the Weber on an otherwise stock engine. A high compression head will also help.

Here is a touring engine with the Weber and a higher compression head.

Throw in a cam and some bigger valves and it goes up. Best to have a stronger lower end with anything over 60 hp.

Have had both. Prefer the Zenith. Car runs great, not leaks, looks right.

Enjoy.

Does anyone know if JR Bullock is still in business? His website no longer is there.

Took my Zenith off to try and locate a leak that has been an ongoing problem since I bought my 29 Fordor. Turns out the lower body is cracked at the secondary well and the previous owner/restorer tried to spot weld and paint it.

So now I'm looking to replace my carb.

Unfortunately Jim passed away from Covid a few weeks ago. I hear his Son-in-law?? took over his business. I don't have his contact info tho.
