    1927 Hudson - Marvel B-10-661



    As for Essex - one source (a 1929-1937 National Service Manual) lists the following: (Maarvel Carburetors)

    VE-3-10-917 - 1931 Essex

    VE-3-10-995 - 1932 Essex first cars;

    VE-3-10-1505 - 1932 Essex later



    Another source as follows: (Marvel Carburetors)

    V-10-733 - 1929 Essex

    V-10-780 - 1930 Essex

    V-10-997 - 1931-1932 Essex



    This is not unusual for Hudson built cars. In the research I've done I've found as many as 5 different sources for an item. We finally got to the point that if we could find at least 2 sources that agreed, we went with that. Not very scientific, but you can't list everything you find. I will freely admit some of my information may be wrong - but so far nobody has come up with anything to correct. This doesn't mean I'm always right on this stuff - just that we are dealing with material that is 50, 60, 70 years old. And we're dealing with a company whose records were consigned to the nearest convient landfill when they merged with Nash.



    As for an "E" model carburetor, at least during this period, I couldn't find any source for that. EE, EX, VE, etc, but no plain Model "E".

    The 1929 Essex used a Model V marvel. The model E was used on '28-29-and '30 Hudsons, but even then they had slight differences, which just goes to prove Murphy's law "Interchangeable parts inevitable exhibit fundamental differences." The "E" designation was the basic type, but the actual carburettors as used on Nash, Buick, and Hudson although all called Model E, were all slightly idfferent in application, as in actuation of the high speed Jet, heat by-pass, etc. If you had a Model VE, you could probably get away with using on the '29 Essex, providing it fits the intake okay. I think the main difference was in the accelerator pump capacity, but you may have to look at jet sizes as well. Good luck,

    Geoff.
