Re: Carb Identification help, please
Is there any value in a teapot carb that would be a rebuildable core? I have one and if not I'm going to throw it away. I'll never have a need for it.

I may be interested in buying it, depending which one and how complete it is. I generally pay around $50 or slightly more for a rebuidable core. Thanks, Sal |

Re: Carb Identification help, please
Sal, you are right it is confusing, I have seen at least 2 other early '51 Merc's like mine with the choke on the carb. I am pretty sure that I am the 3rd owner on my car, I have paper work showing all owners and proper history . I am fairly confident that it has never had the carb and manifold changed.

It looks to me like someone replace the original with a electric choke.

Re: Carb Identification help, please
I have a divorced choke set up on my '51 and it was easy to set up and works fine. I have a Merc manifold with the regular choke on he carb on the engine on my test stand. It also works well. From my experience, Ford had this well under control back then.
