Why these things sometimes take so long... (and sometimes cost so much to do)
Upon disassembly of my latest project, I discovered to my dismay that the "ears" on the float bowl cover had been broken off sometime in the long past.

I have never seen a carburetor like that one. Then I noticed on a couple parts it said Studebaker. Is that carb for a Stude?

yes, it's a Stromberg OE-1 that is uniquely jetted and branded specifically for Studebaker. The Studebaker cover is identical to standard Stromberg covers and are interchangeable.

Alan, trust me, it's my wife who is patient! I know, because I test her frequently
