Not sure if he has delivered any but the price keeps going up. When I talked with him their original design need some improvement and they redid the design. I never gave him any money as he never had any in stock.

easyed, I don't know which particular DL 51 you're looking for, but I know of one for sale advertised as follows:

1932 901-902 Carburetor, Detroit Lubricator S-51 Type E 31762 51-764 (190491). Completely rebuilt (by one of the few experts on these carbs) from a good core with new parts as required. Looks like new and guaranteed to function as such, $2875.

PM me if you're interested in contacting the seller.

Some addition data on the the DL type 51.

DL Air Filter Decal location shows the wrinkle finish on the carburetor body, gloss on the air filter goose neck and filter.

www.packardcarbs.com also offers parts on their site although the checkout function wasn't working when I tried it.

Be interested to know if anyone has ordered / received repair parts from them.

Patent for the DL type 51.

Inventor was W.C. Rayfield, creator of some very early carburetors for racing machines.

One thing the reproduction carburetor is missing is the accelerator pump cover.

I would inquire for a reference as to how well the unit has done on another car. For show they look great.

If you are dead set on a this model carburetor for a 1929 car it does have features that are more modern than the Packard carburetor.

Thanks for suggesting the dust cover, they are seldom seen, since it was probably thrown away by early mechanics. We should have them available later this summer. Check out the website as there are more parts added weekly. Best regards, David.
