Stromberg carbs
 

Have a intake that set up to run 4 carbs

Do you run all 4 or just 2 and use linkage to run the other ones

Re: Stromberg carbs
 

Given the design of most 4-carb intakes, they are designed to run all four in unison. Unless you have a larger cubic inch engine and are into real racing, you might be best off with four of the smaller 81 Strombergs.

And that can get real expensive.:eek:

It's a inline 6 301 cubic inch with a 588 camshaft for a hot rod

Re: Stromberg carbs
 

In your case, you should be able to run 2, with the other 2 on a progressive linkage.

Now you have piqued my interest. Would you mind sharing what kind of an engine this is? The only 300+ ci vintage inline sixes I can think of are Hudsons (308 ci) and GMC's (302 ci). Since yours is smaller, I'm stumped.

OK. That explains it. (Modern stuff.) Sounds healthy, though. It might run OK progressive, but I bet straight would be better. The only time I ran 4 97's was on the 331 Hemi in my racecar (straight linkage, of course). It ran great and was quite fast, but for some reason, I had to go through the carbs every year. I finally had enough of that and went to two large-base 2G's on a different manifold; it ran about as good and the carburetors are completely trouble free. (One of the guys I raced with ran a 320 ci Buick straight eight with 5 97's (straight linkage as well.)

When I had the first setup, I ran across an article someplace (maybe on the H.A.M.B.) that explained how to properly set up 4 in a row with a straight linkage for the street. Maybe I can find again it if you're interested.

The gm carbs are good for shure but they don't look as good as the older ones

Re: Stromberg carbs
 

How about three Carter YH side draft carburetors, like the early Corvettes?

Also used on turbocharged Corvairs and some Nash, I think.
