No, E was much better at doing the things cars do. Especially fast ones.

[Otto Puzzell]

Black holers?

[Joao Gois]

Could B be a steam engine?  ::) I really dunno what does one may look like... :P

I meant D, not B. Or a Square-4? ::)

[Otto Puzzell]

D is part of a conventional, internal combustion engine car. This part was on most every gasoline-engine car until quite recently.

[Joao Gois]

Then it seems like a twin-barrel carburettor... no?

[Otto Puzzell]

A carb it is!

[Ray B.]

OK - D is a pair of the same thing. They are carburetors from a car that is well-known by regulars of this site.

A black carburetor? What is it made of?

[Otto Puzzell]

Painted iron, I suspect.

This thread is proof positive that there is and always will be an inexhaustible supply of AutoPuzzles.

So D is a carb. Is it particularly noteworthy in terms of being the first with a given technology, or the first from a famous manufacturer? Or should I continue digging through ancient service manuals hoping to get lucky? :)

As an aside, I found a shop willing to identify any carb for $10; but they don't work with pictures, you have to send it to them. Oh well.

The latter.

The first Weber carb of note I'm told was a two-barrel sidedraft sold as part of a Fiat hop-up kit in the 20s and 30s. "D" Looks like a two-barrel sidedraft, and possibly of that vintage, so lacking any other earthly insight, that's my guess.

[Otto Puzzell]

Not a weber, and a bit newer, too.

Fact czech - yep: correct! This immediate prewar device is not a Weber carb.

[Otto Puzzell]

C? I'm should be eating French fries, not popcorn.  :popcorn:

E: Did any Norse explorers make it to Arizona? :scratch:

[Otto Puzzell]

F: I could write a sonnet, 'bout clasping down this bonnet.

[Otto Puzzell]

Maybe we could play hangman?

[guido66]

E: Aetek FYK?

[Otto Puzzell]

E: Aetek FYK?

E is much older than that.

[Otto Puzzell]

I'd post a full picture of E, but am afraid the simultaneous slapping of foreheads across the globe might make for too loud a sound, scaring small children, widows, and cats.

[Otto Puzzell]

And now, an Ode to D:

To rush to the fore
means going behind
Look for D atop the V
where no water you'll find

Thank you. Thank you very much :bow:

[Otto Puzzell]

C'mon - I'm practically GIVING you the answers.  :o

[guido66]

So D is from a car with an aircooled V-form engine in the rear  ??? A Tatra ! Is the carb a Jikov?
