Default What model carburator is on the GMC Fox Armoured Car?

Hi folks,
Anyone have a parts manual for the Fox to hand and can look up something for me?

Have been trying to find hen's teeth with unobtanium grills on them....

That is a wartime Solex 40/RZINEO carb for my Humber Armoured car.

Several folks have been looking who have Humber Mk4s and also the Humber Scout Cars which use the same engine.

Some post war carbs that are supposedly a post war replacement have turned out to have all been modified for a constant speed usage - i.e. for a generator , compressor or pump.

We are looking at a modern Rocester carb for a similar sized engine and doing some testing this weekend.

But it dawned on me that the Fox - being a twin brother to the Humber - might use a Chevy carb that might still be around.

Does anyone know what model that is?

Better yet, does anyone know where to buy one?

Even better, do you have one (or two) for sale???

Any experiances with the carb - on a Fox or not - I would love to hear of it.

Cheers,
Jim
