Tillotson Carburetors

Posted by Rick Black on June 17, 1997 at 23:34:51

I recently found a complete Tillotson carburetor that is unlike the "normal", square-bowl Model X that I've seen on countless Model A Fords. This one has a round bowl and looks almost exactly like a Zenith.
Paul Moller's book "The Model A Ford Carburetors" (5th edition) has a short section on Tillotsons at the back of the book, and he mentions this round-bowl carburetor as an early, unsuccessful design.
Does anyone know if I can get parts for this?Is there a model name for it?Was it really a bad carburetor? Is it worth anything?
