I took the carb apart and checked out the passages. The gav adjustment needle is there and does operate but only in motion. The passage goes from the bottom of the bowl to the needle valve but there is no outlet to the carb. it appears to never connected. The adjustment on the bottom has a...

I just cant put together in my mind what it would do that the GAV in the car couldn't

I removed the needle assy and there is a jet orifice under it. So it is an actual adjustment. It is marked as a model X

I have not seen a Tillotson like this. I have rebuilt and installed many carbs. Zenith, Marvel, and Tillotson but not seen one with the adjustment on the bottom of the carb. This was on the car for decades and ran with it but numerous fuel leaks prompted replacement with my preferred carb a Marvel

The shells are stainless and in excellent condition. I can get everything I need except for the steel reinforcing plate. And not finding that will look at making the plate. Just trying to avoid going that route unless no alternative.

I was given a set of 1930 headlight that had been in a garage that was flooded. Both lights were submerged ( saltwater ). I got the lights disassembled and removed the metal backing that was riveted to the shell. The steel parts were very rusted and looked like laminated steel. I can replace...

Just remember that rubber fuel hose is right next to a 400+ degree exhaust manifold
