Hate to keep asking but have stuff and don’t find a picture elsewhere.
Aluminum carb with windows in the bowl. Not a name or number on the outside

So much stuff, good and bad, was put out for the Model T Ford. You may never find a good answer but keep trying and you never know. Maybe it was a test carb or prototype for an advanced unit or maybe a dismal failure. I once bought an accessory oiler for a T and wondered why they found a warehouse full. After thinking about it and reading the instructions I believe it was a failure because the oil reservoir was mounted to the exhaust manifold. In use it must have cooked or even ignited the oil!

That looks like a nice little tank should be good to use somewhere. As for the carb I may look inside sometime, maybe try it on something. Just odd it’s the only no name I ever saw.

Re: Whatzit agian
 

It is an "Air Friction" carb. Google "Air Friction carburetor" & scroll down to antique carburetor/ OEM. Second page shows a 20's ad.

Wow, that is cutting edge. Thank you for the info, maybe I will try it on my T for fun & 40 mg

Re: Whatzit agian
 

Yep, an Air Friction carb. The i.d. tag was located on the air inlet tube. It was a brass tube threaded into the body of the carb. Check the MTFCA forum as well for lots of info.

OK thanks, will look around haven’t seen everything in the hash of parts could be the threaded tube is in there.
