a whole different carb on it. Does anyone have a carb? It is a Marvel

V (Five) and is for a '29 Essex Super Six. >>



This might be a tough item to locate. I don't know about Essex, but for

Hudsons, the parts are rare because they were made of a very poor grade of

pot metal and most of them have deteriorated. Thanks to the very good work of

one of our listees, a small batch of float bowls for the Hudsons is being

manufactured now. Does anyone know of a similar project for the Essex

equivalent?
