    I think I posted here about a Latham I picked up at auction. I am trying to figure its original application. Here is a thread I posted over at Moparts where I am a long time member. I think my first, and last, posts show that I have discovered a little, but still confused. I think I should add that these units were sold for particular "applications". While some parts are missing, the "runner" is probably original equipment.

    Search for pictures of a Latham on a Jaguar 6. There were a few installed on E types. Early E was 3.8 liter (about 232 cu in), later were 4.2 (256). Weber side draft carbs would be a big improvement over the Carters.

    I'll look into that. Maybe not in the pictures, it did come with one Carter YH, seems to have Corvette numbers. It was in an estate sale from an English car guy. Someone replied to one of my posts that hios parents had one on an E-type. These things get around, I found a German video on YouTube showing one being tested.
