All I can Google is 3 patent numbers - no real info. Anyone know about Woodworth Carburetors?
Have you used the #'s to view the patents themselves at the US patent Office site. There's some info on how to do it at:
Tried that and all I got was the very long patent explanation - no idea what they were used for, etc. Guess I'm more interested in their history than the actual mechanics of them. Thanks for the idea - can anyone further this exploration?

I have 2 of them.. both are the same variable cfm but mounting is different.. one is a Holley 4brl type flange.. the other a 2brl. I was told Loyd Ruby was involved with the design.. I have no idea if that is accurate.. They were marketed towards RV's and large trucks though..

There is also some sales information from 1975 that mentioned the inventor, Albert H. Woodworth, and Albert M. Hyatt, the casting company. Art Sylvia, Vice President, from San Jose was trying to market it.
Art Sylvia stored a couple of complete carburetors, brochures and advertising info in my families barn in Santa Cruz, CA. He never came back. I think the rent is up to about $10,000. Just kidding.
If this gets to anyone interested in purchasing what I have, please make an offer.

Do you still have these???
Hey there..Merry Christmas..I was wondering if you might still have the Woodworth Carbs and Brochure. Albert Woodworth was my grandfather. He's been deceased for many yrs now. Something pulled me this evening to play with Google and here I am. I would be quite interested in helping to unload that lot...not for any financial gain..purely sentiment. May you and your family have a beautiful Holiday. Sending love light and peace ✌️
I have one. New. It came from an auction in Carlsbad California many years ago. Just found it in a storage container I am clearing out. (619) 997-0176
I sent you text. I'm so excited you replied. Hoping to hear from you soon.
