Re: Unusual carburation on Flathead V8’s
It is not a 32 manifold which has a single throat down draft carburettor and the generator on a 32 manifold has a single pole mount generator I would say it was a 34 manifold.

Stromberg carburettors
Is it o/k to run a Stromberg 48 carburettor on a late 3-3.16" inch bore Ford V8 engine as originally they were fitted to the 3-1/16" inch bore 1934 Ford V8 engines.
