Need tools identified

[Ethan1972]

I bought a LOAD of carb tools from a guy and these came with it:

The first one is a K.R. Wilson 9510A, second is a K.R. Wilson 9550A, third one is a K.R. Wilson 9550C and the fourth is a Kent Moore J-10195-1.

If anyone can tell me what these were used on/for, I would appreciate it.

I think K.R. Wilson only made Ford tools, but I could be wrong. I know a couple of them have Ford on them, so I know there Ford. But, what model? Model A? I know one says STROMB on it, so I am assuming STROMBerg? And I know the other is probably a float gauge?

Not sure on the Kent Moore, but I do know there were three parts that makeup this tool. J-10195-1,-2 and -3.

Thanks for any and all help! Ethan

2 is a float setting gauge.
1 and 4 looks like a jet wrench

the other one, not sure.

Thank you, but I was already thinking along those lines. Just looking for what they were used on? Thanks! Ethan

We were right!

Tool 1 is a 4-in-1 tool for the Chandler-Groves carburetors:

Tool 4 is most likely a jet tool as well, since the K.R. Wilson has the same attachment.

Tool 2 is of course a float gauge.

Tool 3 is a float hinge bending tool. I guess it is easier than using a pair of needle nose.

More...#1 does most of the take-apart for 1939--1950's Ford design 2 barrels.
Without knowing dimension, I'm pretty sure #2 is for the same Ford-Holley-CG two barrels.
3 is a float arm bender/adjuster, one end for the above, other end for the Strombergs Ford used from '34-38.
4 looks like it would be for lifting jets in and out of the Ford carb through the access plugs without the need to remove lid.

I should add...all of these are on my HOLY GRAIL list, and if they need a new home I wish to offer them housing and employment here with their familiar carburetors!
I'm always looking for elderly carburetor tools, and these are special!

Go here http://www.norgv8club.org/all-dcouments-indexed/category/15-service-bulletins
and click on the 9510 reconditioning to see these tools in their natural environment, which happens to look just like my basement.
Parenthetically, KRW also made tools for Packard and probably others, but Ford was the main connection, ending shortly after Henry died.
It also was a major power in hydraulic presses and rams, and made some general service tools.

Just to add to Bruce's "probably others" and "general service tools" comments, K.R. Wilson was a popular US Army Ordnance Dept supplier during WWII, and their tools - everything from simple drifts and C-Clamps to shock compressors and universal joint assembly and disassembly kits - regularly turn up in WWII NOS surplus batches.

Bruce, EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you very much. I know you're the carb tool guy around here and I appreciate you expertise.

I should have got a closer up photo for you, but the last "attachment" is for the fuel inlet needle and seat. I tested it on my Holley 94 7RT and it is a PERFECT fit. Also, I believe tool 4 is for the fuel inlet needle and seat as well. Not the jets as I suspected. A little too big. Thank you again guys! Any more thoughts? Ethan
