There were no carbs or ignition for this Flathead D as it came out of its many boxes to be pieced together. Not having enough parts to build some more Carter Model Ns, I resorted to the using of Merc carbs - WMKs - from larger Merc engines that Elmer Grade, Palm Beach, Florida came up and gave me the basis what to make them with as alternative Alky carbs for big inch Konigs as well as for big Quincy flatheads. He also built a version with remote DelOrto fuel bowls where things got too tight to have or retain the original bowl on the carbs. This engine features the fuel bowls as cast with these Tillotson like carbs. Enjoy these pictures, the next few days will see the whole engine ready for use, show or go.
