      Jerry!

      The 1940 book lists Bonne carbs and venturies, however both seem totally absent from the fossil record.

      The Bonne stamping did not appear until the introduction of L&L models.

        Jerry, my original '39 Bonney that you photographed for you Chief book has a DLX 108. There is no special stamping to indicate Bonneville.

            Scott, DLX 108 is the stock Chief carb 1935-39 so it is for all those years.
