whats up with the fuel shutoff in the carb line?

Mitch,
My guess is since this is a late 31' with an indented firewall the guy who owned the car or the owner before him (car sat for 5 years.) could not find a Zenith side bowl carburetor so... I'm guessing he had to cut the fuel line and just stuck in an extra fuel valve to mate the two sections... Or valve on the firewall is not working so they just placed a second, in series.
At some point, I'll find the proper side bowl carb and remove the extra valve.
