Appearance
It really looks like a small Tillitson Model X, only
in two tone colors, brass and gray. It says Zenith; Made in USA
on one side and features multiple ways to adjust the throttle
and choke linkage, plus a simple high-speed adjustment. While
it does bolt right up, it may require an adapter for the fuel
line, it the same one used on many Tillitson carbs to reduce the
stock fitting to it smaller one. No problem, I took an adapter
off an old spare Model X unit and it screwed right in to the new
Zenith.
Performance
My car's idle was improved, a lot! In fact it will
idle smoothly now, something it did not do before. It seems to
have a little more get up and go off the line and performed about
the same as my stock Zenith had done at high speed. The top end
did improve while I was accelerating uphill. The best part about
this carburetor is that its brand spanking new and performs well.
This one's a keeper.
One thing, the Ad mentions an optional adapter to enable the use of an aftermarket Ford air cleaner and gives a part number of CB-29, this part is no longer manufactured.
Over all, it performed well on the road.
