Zepher intake & Ansen intake

[henry's 31]

Does anyone have any information on the Zepher intake and Ansen intake sometimes used in Model A's including what the possible value?


Thanks in advance!

They allow you to use a later down draft carburetor. They are available new, though they pop up in ads and swap meets once in a while.

The use of a Stromberg or Holley carburetor originally used on the flathead V8 allows you to match airflow of engine to carburetor, both the A engine and the Stromberg 97 or Holley 94 have CFM flow rates of approximately 160 CFM. This balance yields good results and efficiency..the stock Zenith updraft flows at 80 CFM or so..

Hi Jack:


Thanks for the reply. I have a Zepher intake on a chassis I purchased that I plan to make a speedster. I was recently giventhe Ansen which is in beautiful shape and just wondered what they sell for,

If the ansen is a single it would pull 250 to 300.. but hang on to it, find a good Holley 94 and stick it on your driver A, you’ll be glad you did.

Hi Jack:


Thanks for your reply, I will probably put it in the Speedster I will build in the near future.
