    Pictures of a Double Venturi Throttle Plate

    I got an email from someone wanting to see pictures of the throttle plate for a double venturi carb. Notice the plate just has a Z in a small circle. My single venturi Zenith has 18 1/2 stamped in the throttle plate. The double venturi has a 20 degree bevel on the throttle plate edge, which of course must taper to straight sides near the throttle shaft area.

    My choke plate has rust pits, and a small hole, so I'll replace that. When you install the throttle plate, leave the screws a bit loose, then snap the plate shut a few times to make sure it's completely settled into it's fully closed position, then hold it closed as you tighten the 2 screws.

    Throtttle Plate Replacement

    Thought this was going to be simple/easy - . Sigh
    Noticed my rebuilt Carb does not have the correct throttle plate.
    Nothing is making any sense. Without really studying this before figured take a couple of screws out, remove old plate, put new plate in and add the screws.

    Picture 1 is the replacement Plate, notice there is no way to put a shaft through it....

    Zenith Throttle Plate Idle Adjust
    by 1930 Closed Cab PU
    Have seen two recommendations for adjustment.

    1. Adjust the Throttle Plate top is just at the bottom of the small passage.

    2. Adjust the Throttle Plate top so it is halfway blocking the small passage

    Which adjustment is preferable?


    As a side note, I believe my throttle plate is not ground correctly, I saw the diagram below, my carb presently...

    Throttle Plate vs Hole
    by Marc Hildebrant
    Group,

    My Zenith Carb often stalls out when I'm driving and then take my foot off the gas at a stop. When the throttle plate is at idle, how much, if any should the small air vent hole for idle be covered ?

    Weird Distributor Plate
    by Terry, NJ
    OK all you know it all smart guys! (Kidding of course ). I never saw one like this, no one I know ever saw one either. Picture this; The point block has been punched (formed) from the material that makes the plate. That is odd enough, but the points are located about a third of the way around from a Mod. A plate. I matched it to a Mod. B plate and it was pretty close in regards to the B. However,...

    Point gap changes with rotation.
    by Bjunkans
    I’ve been having a problem with my timing, when I try to advance the lever I can only pull it down a little more than half way on the quadrant and it starts sputtering and cutting out. I tried re timing, even retiming a little off, just to see if that was the issue. Finally pulled the distributor to go over it again and found that when I move the top plate the point gap changes and in some positions...

    Distributor Question
    by WayneT
    I am experiencing a new problem that I have NEVER encountered with a Model A Distributor. I converted both of my A's distributors some time ago and removed the "pigtail" between the upper and lower plates and replaced it with the Brass springy plate that the acorn nut hits on the bottom of the upper plate that is on the bottom of the post for the points.
    I have had the upper plates...

    Distributor upper plate
    by WMWS
    Can any one tell me what I have here. The point block is cast into the plate and not removable. Is that an original plate. The reason I ask is I need to replace the points but Bratten's says the new points don't line up with the old block. They make a new block that lines the points up but obviously it won't work on this plate.

    Wireless bottom plate
    by DBrer
    I have been reading on VFF that a lot of you guys don't like the wireless bottom distributor plate and prefer the one with the wire. My question is why, do they fail more often or ??.
