Phantom III
Carburetor Information
Thank you for your interest in our
product.
We
furnish a new bowl cast in aluminum due to the zinc die cast float bowl losing
its integrity with age. The process we use for casting is the lost wax method. This
process enables us to reproduce intricate details, particularly in the main
discharge tube cavity.
The project began in the 1970’s by Dr. Ned
Estridge, who successfully reproduced several bowls before passing the project onto
John Dennison (owner of Dennison Motors, Inc.) John reworked the waxer (the die
for making the bowl in investment wax) and made jigs for drilling the numerous
holes and passageways. He also made
fixtures for bench testing and adjusting the bowls before final painting and
assembling.
When John retired, the Phantom III carburetor bowl project passed along to Timothy
Jayne Jr. (who worked for John for 15 years and bought the business from him). Today, with the advent of computer controlled
machining, the bowls are reproduced with even more accuracy. The bench testing
is still used in conjunction with full assembling and testing on a running car
to adjust and fine tune to a very high degree. Many bowls have been sold to
customers around the world to keep their Phantom IIIs on the road!
If you are interested in purchasing on of
our bowls, we would like to bring to your attention:
We will require your complete carburetor in
exchange, including all linkage and internal parts shipped with appropriate
insurance.
The
following parts will be replaced- accelerator pump, needle and seat valve, all
gaskets, and the float bowl. Any other missing, non-original, or broken parts
must be mentioned prior to shipping to arrange replacements and price
adjustments.
If
requested, we will return the carburetor with the components you sent us. Please
allow additional time.
All
carburetors are fully assembled, tested, and painted.
