Default Re: Stromberg 40 carb vs Stromberg 48 Carb

Frank and I have been discussing this issue. There is a Stromberg model 40 which is
basically on the outside like a 48 only without the 48 stamped on the RH rear corner
of the air horn and bowl OR in raised letters on the drivers side air horn and
bowl. Here is what you don't see.......the model 40 has a slightly different idle circuit
than the 48. This circuit is not a big deal but that is what really separates the model
40 from the 48. Model 40 is correct for '34. Something else to consider........40 is the
prefix for everything strictly '33 and '34............48 is the prefix for everything strictly
'35. In my stash I probably have 25 model 48 bowls with NO stamped or raised 48
showing.
Like lots of Henry's stuff......a conundrum !
