Default Re: How many out there run Stromberg 97's

Kevin, I was going to run 3 94's on my Flatty. They would not fit my Offenhauser intake manifold without a little creative grinding on the carbs for clearance between the carbs. Charlie ny (frequent poster here) rebuilt 3 chrome carbs for me that I picked up at a swap meet. I had considered trashing them after but Charlie said he'd tackle them. Tackle them he did! I thought they were 97's (all markings had been removed by a plater years ago). Charlie informed me that they were 48's which he said was a better carb for what I was doing. They fit great on my intake.They came out beautiful and each carb was road tested by Charlie! Dennis/Arkansas

The 94's can be had for $20-40 at swap meets. The 97's are four times that much for a core.

Is there a black and white performance advantage or is it a handed down legend status thing?

Just asking because I REALLY want to know.
