Look at the Restoration Guidelines and Judging standards Area 1, Engine, pages 1-12 & 1-13 Revised 2013. The removable brass gas adjusting valve seat was standard in both the Zenith 1, manufactured by Zenith, and the Zenith 2, manufactured by Holley from start of production, (SOP), through January 1930.
