The smaller comp jet goes in the fuel bowl. The one that looks like a comp jet but is larger is a GAV adjustment needle seat. Remove the GAV adjustment needle housing and shine a light down. The...

Re: Zenith Carb Rebuild Question
The jets are supposed to be the same height and normally match with only one gasket beneath. It is possible one or the other jets may be non-stock Model A. There are a lot of similar jets out there...

Re: Zenith 1 vs. Zenith 2
There's no difference between the Z1 (Zenith) & the Z2 (Holley) except the marking. Ford used both Holley & Zenith to supply his carbs and had them marked differently so they knew who built it. Jon's...
