Thanks for your taking your most valuable time to share what you found in thinking "outside the box" and sharing your experiences with your Tillotson & Zenith carburetor experiences.

A few years ago my (3) sons had their 12th grade teenage high school friend visit from down the road.

I asked him to go inside, look at my 1860 Plattsburg, NY manufactured antique pendulum clock on the wall to let me know the time.

He came back out & replied that he could only read digital clock time & could not read time with a clock with hands.

Many today can never understand why so many doctors, lawyers, brain surgeons, mechanics and Senators cannot follow simple instructions such as locating the four o'clock rotor position when timing a Model A Distributor.

It is not good enough to just understand what is happening with new modern technology; one has to also keep up with our modern day ignorance to remain successful in business.

I like the F1-B Tilly, looks like a Zenith but isn't.
