Re: Anyone ran one of the "new" Sacramento Vintage Ford carburetors?
Steve S, I purchased and installed one of Automotive Test Systems new Zenith replacement carbs today....I will never let it go without a helluva fight..I love this new carb! The price went up to $259.95 plus tax and shipping, but the performance is worth every penny. No GAV to monkey with. No stalling on hard stops. Retard the spark, open gas valve, pull choke half way out, turn on key, hit starter, and you're up and running! Runs smoother with more power. Old '29 Nellie ran good today!

Re: Anyone ran one of the "new" Sacramento Vintage Ford carburetors?
We ran both of the MARK Auto carbs, the Zenith and the Tilitson. They both worked fine on our test cars. They were used on various Summer Tours so had extended driving for several days. I understand MARK is working on a revision on the Tilitson which should be out soon. We will be getting one of those to test when it is released.

Just out of curiosity, did you fiddle with the T-valve? As I recall, I settled on about 1/2 turn open. I'm glad to hear that it's working out so well for you; it's always a bit nervousy recommending how someone spend their money. Steve |

Re: Anyone ran one of the "new" Sacramento Vintage Ford carburetors?
Stevw S, I called the company and had a great discussion about the carb. I setted on about 3/4 turn out on the T-valve. Wow ! I love it. I like the Zenith name cast on the back side of the carb.

and a followup on post #25 listed above: https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=97133 Quoted post #25 " If you are interested, you might try one of our rebuilt Zenith Carbs, Unlike anyone else I know, besides our thorough rebuild, we actually run ALL of our carbs about 10 miles on a stop and go, up and downhill city and highway routine on the same perfect running car, to be sure they work properly. If you want, Email us your name and address, and I will send you one to try. If you dont like it, you can send it back. If you like it, send me a check. We build hundreds every year, and becuase we test drive every one, we are confident that you will like it. Just a thought. email me at [email protected] if you want to.

How did you deal with the fuel line? Does the noise bother you at all?

Can you tell me where I can get those dyno results, or who did them? Thanks
