WTB: TeeDee Aluminum Carb Body

Jim:

As I explained to Ron I do not wish to parse and respectfully decline the opportunity.

(It's off-topic anyway)

SD

I would just like to make one last point.
Carburetor (n) : a mechanical apparatus for premixing vaporized fuel and air in proper proportions and supplying the mixture to an internal combustion engine

That's the Webster definition. Nowhere does it say it has I have a throttle plate.
The Venturi is part of said carb. The rest of the parts being the needle and valve body. If you remove the butterfly valve from a carburetor on a vehicle, will it still run? Yes. Just wide open. It's still a carburetor. Just a different design.

Thanks for clearing that up, Stang. Hopefully that's the last word on the subject.
Sorry your simple thread became the grounds for such a petty semantic skirmish. Most of us around here are pretty laid back. Please don't let that deter you from jumping into the discussions.
See you in the funny pages,

Rusty

Oh darn! I've been dismissed.

A carburetor contains an adjustable throttle plate  veneuri does not ergo Cox is NOT "lying" but using misleading term.

A venturi is a place where the volocity of intake air is accelerated to draw in additional fuel.  In essense this means that a venturi is only one part of a carburertor and NOT the reciprocal.

SD

I still call it an intake, just like on any other engine

Not so fast,

Object to your "petty semantic skimish" label because words have meanings and the more precisely they are expressed the clearer the they are understood.  Example: race and ethnicity
9 which is the source of considerable controversy today in America.)

Examine any socialogical source you wish and explain the differece.  Confusion yields controvery and precision of expression yields understanding if not acceptance

(If you don't like"throttle plate" try "butterfly" which the slang equivilant.  All true carbuetors have them don't they?

SD

Dave... too many big words makes my brain shut down


Cox called it a Carb Body... so be it... If you don't like it, take it up with Roy Cox  

Yes Travis suh.

I hope you enjoy "igniting" your glow plugs.   (Best to have a fire extinguisher handy)  

SD

I didn't choose that word either

Why do you drive on a parkway and park in a driveway???

The question I have is did you contack the seller and see if you could purchase one. I can contact him directly if you would like me too and I can resolve this. Ken

I got a NOS part. But I also ordered the aluminum one when they were available again as well.

For the same reason you drive on freeway that isn't free.
