    Did I find gold? WHat engines did the Winfield s model carbs go on (model T?)

     



    Ok I have an old Chevy dealership shop in town that has been abandoned and locked up for years!!!! like 20 - 30, that just took over new ownership and they are gutting the place and throwing everything away. I got permission to dig through their metal dumpsters and this is what I first found (along with many blocks and cranks heads). it is a Dual Winfield carb set up with all linkages and choke bar and from what I can read (which is not much on the net) is that the S model was a racing carb as it had 3 fuel stages of acceleration that could be adjusted, also I read that they can be up or down draft. From what I am reading these were the carbs used model t fords... now I'm hoping to find someone who is familar with these old set ups and I'd like to know just how rare these are. In one place I read to find a complete dual matching set was next to impossible???? well I found one in a trash can with no parts missing, any clue to how much something like this is worth to the right collector? I dont build fords so it is of no use to me but I'd still like to know what I got.. heres some pics and thank you in advance.

    Contact Jere Jobe here; http://www.vintagecarburetiontech.com/

    Smart guy on old carbs, and if he doesn't know, he'll probably know where to send you for more info.

    BTW, with them spread that far apart it's unlikely they were last used on a Ford, probably an inline six.

    He he, don't you just love it? One mans junk and all that stuff. When I saw your pictures I felt you might have something pretty rare and desirable there.

    Way to go.

    Man, I'm excited for you. I'm a dumpster diver too, so it is cool to see you scored such great stuff. Those '56 parts should be desirable for some numbers matching restorer, I would think. 348-409 stuff is always neat too.

    Only cool stuff I ever got was from behind a Harbor Freight. They tossed out a bunch of returned stuff, and I was able to fix and use lots of the tools.

    Well Pops, in these modern times anything can be made to sound noble. So, rather than calling yourself a dumpster diver, I would suggest that you're a freegan;
