Does anyone have a cross sectional diagram on or a publication about early and late Holley Model G carburetors? I would like to ask for or purchase a copy. I purchased the 'The Ford Carburetor' published by the MTFCA but it does not contain the information I seek.

I forgot to mention that I already have the parts diagram of the G from the Resource section. Am needing a cross sectional view and detailed restoration procedures.

That was in the Dyke's sixteenth addition Steve.
(1934 but probably in several earlier additions.)

This is a bit clearer from the ford Service Bulletin, Nov 15th 1919.
Perhaps this is easier to see the early vs. the late.

Thank you all so much for your replies. Helps me greatly. I have a '14 G with a one arm choke lever and will install a G two arm choke lever so I can choke from inside the cab. From your replies and comparing the pictures, I have all the component parts except the venturi retaining spring. I can make a spring.

Yes, a spring can be made. I made some by unrolling a compression spring and bending to fit. Placed on a pin in a vice they can be uncurled quite easily.
Have fun.
Rich

Yes because I prefer to avoid arm cranking. It is an '11 3 passenger Roadster per McCalley's book or an '11 Commercial Roadster per Lang's catalog (looks the same to me) with a '23 engine. Not the real deal but am having fun. Will post pictures in about a year or two or three when I think I'll be finished with its restoration.
