FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

I believe the non typical base is a bit later such as during the war or slightly after.

I'd forgot all about that style "funny looking base" plate. I've seen those and unfortunately can't add any comment based on real proof or documentation. Sorry.

Henry Ford was adept at contractual wording. His agreement with Chandler Grove specified that he would assume ownership of the carburetor design should CG fail to deliver quantities in a timely fashion. They failed as expected, Ford quickly took possession of the molds and bought out the bankrupted CG company. 1939 model year was then completed with an F or an H near the accelerator pump. All 1939 carbs were identified with the 91-99, and some early 1939 carbs did still have the CG logo, while others were made with the Ford logo. Additionally, the early 91-99 markings can be seen to have been engraved directly into molds, while later 91-99 model marks were as later models, marked onto replaceable coins in the molds, as carb bodies remained the same for several years, only differing in the controls and the vents.

I will take some pictures and post them of the base plates and of the CG carb with the H cast into it and also has 91-99. Back in the past I was told that Holley purchased or merged with Chandler-Groves sometime in 1938? or so and then Holley made carbs for Ford and Ford made them also. If Ford was making them it must have been under license from H or CG??? or the other way around. Told you, you were keeping up at night reading your book!

Yikes, you really are making my little brain work hard. I'm not so certain I can recall all of this stuff. Especially the things not directly 1940.

The "different" base plate? From the drawings I'd inspected, all carbs for 1940 had the same shaped base. I've attached a photo that depicts that plate. I'd also looked at (too) many factory photos and all had the same plate.

As I'm certain you realize, Chandler -Grove was out of the picture before 1940 production - at least as far as the assembly line goes. There is some indication that C-G supplied carburetors to the aftermarket for some time after 1938. How long they supplied those I have no clue.

The C-G carburetor you have...does it have Ford cast on the bowl section?
