Lockwood cheif 1929 carb help

[joe1]

So I have 2 carbs one has

this hole an 1 dose not there was Nothing hooked up to it But it is a threaded hole If anybody knows what it’s used for I’d appreciate it thanks Joe1

Not supposed to be there. If its threaded, can only imagine that somebody drilled/tapped it to use as a mounting point for some type of bracket.

Not going to speculate what the bracket might have been for, you’ll have to ask the guy that drilled/tapped it.

Hope this helps.

Best,

He's livin' in his own private Idaho..... I hope to go out quietly in my sleep, like my grand-dad did..... and not screaming, like the passengers in his car...

Just my humble opinion. If it’s an 1/8th pipe thread maybe a previous owner had a primer cup threaded in there.
My 29 Chief doesn’t have a hole either.

Don’t shoot me I’m only the piano player.
