What is this carb on my A? Doesn't look like a Zenith nor a Tillotson.

That is a Marvel Schebler. Also sold by Sears as an Allstate. And by parts stores as a Johnson.

The Marvel was a aftermarket replacement for the Zenith. I believe it even had a Ford Part number.

It's what's on my '29 RPU. The Tillotson that was on it leaked. I like the GAV system on the Marvel...seems a 'sturdier' setup. Easy to rebuild too....parts obtained from Renner's Corner.

Yep. They have no name on them because they were sold under different names as stated in post #2. They had a decal with the name of the 'Brand' that are usually long gone.
