V8-60 Carburetors, 92s...By: "FRED A"

Ol' "Fred A" has some info that he asked me to post about his take on carburetors supplied with the V8-60 Horsepower Engines.

From Fred:


There has been some discussion of the factory finish of Chandler Groves type 92s. The front two carburetors are Holleys and appear to be in original condition. Third in that line is a Ford made 92, Notice the silver coloration compared to the Holleys. There is one Holley in the rear but the surface pitting suggests that the silver is from zinc chromate replate which which is common to new factory Ford parts. Until the environmentalists took over, such replating was more common and covered in the Service Bulletins. Chromate may be quite common as it continues to be noticed where zinc was assumed. My non-scientific samplings are smaller for the Stromberg 81 and will be offered later. Hopefully COOPMAN will help get this posted. Good Luck: Fred A
