My 1925 star with W-5 four cylinder came with a Tillotson MV-1A carburetor. This is made of bronze so they can still be used. They appear on e-bay from time to time. Just not right now. It works very well with my engine as I can travel at 45 mph. I tried the Zenith. I had to disassemble it to make the throttle exit the opposite side so it would meet the linkage. It ran OK but not as good as the Tillotson. So I had the T rebuilt and it's back on the car now.
I don't know if yours came with the same carb. They also used the Tillotson MV-1B
A Muesum that had the car before the owner took it back had put a zenith carb on it. Not running when I bought it. Cleaned the Zenith and put it back on but but notatpoint of trying to start it. I talked to a guy at the Muesum who’d told me about the carb. Anyway, he is a model T guy and someone else told me the Zenith might be off a Model T. Thanks for the info.
Ford T were side draft Holley or Kingston carbs and Ford A was Zenith updraft. I seem to recall on Forum someone was using a Ford A carb on his W5 engine.

On the many engines I have acquired, several were fitted with a Model A carb. Apparently, it was a common practice to use that carb on the Continental engines.
As I recall, Adam Ford has a cast iron Zenith Model A on his A-22...Interesting thing with those carburetors are that the choke control rod has a duel function it will operate the choke and when twisted will adjust the Hi-speed jet.
