Canadian car ?

[Standing Elk]

During my carburetor rebuild I learned that my Zenith 3 (Ford built) carburetor was supposedly only used on late 1931 Canadian Model As. So my question is, how do I tell a Canadian car from a US car? Understanding fully that this may not be the original carb. that was on this car when new, but now am curious if maybe I have a Canadian car. Thanks.

By engine number and type of screws used to assemble everything on the car.
What's so special about your carb?? The #3?? A sidebowl??

WHat sort of bumper clamps do you have? The Canadian versions had a carriage bolt running through the center of the clamp and bolting it to the bumper. The colour of the Ford script badge on the radiator shell can also indicate whether the part is canadian or not.

Look at all the body screws. Door hinges..ect. Dash screws... Canadian cars used Robertson screws (square head). Not phillips or stot.

The Z3 carbs were used US vehicles not just Canadian

My Ruby Red '93 Buick Regal was made in CANADA!--NO Robertson Screws.

Model A's manufactured by Ford of Canada used a mixture of Robertson and slotted screws.

The RG/JS has quite an extensive supplement if you want to learn more on Canadian A's.
