Have closely inspected the pics, and this is a 1927 or '28 carburettor,

so will not fit a '29, '30' or '31 as the flange is the wrong angle,

and there is no cold running venturi. I cannot tell if its a bronze

bowl, but it looks like it. The high speed needle is missing, and is on

the opposite side to '29. The bowl could be fitted to the '29 venturi

body, but the high speed needle would have to be actuated from the

engine (inner) side of the throttle shaft.
