New Stromberg BIG 97
Just wanted To let you all know I installed one of Stromberg's new BIG 97's on my 37 a few weeks I have been running a 94 for several years and was OK with it but after several re builds it was giving me some trouble. I rebuilt my 59A last year and installed a Max1 cam, electric ignition, and Red's headers. I spent a BUNCH of time deburring, polishing and then plating my original 37 intake so going to a multi carb set up wasn't on my radar, plus I drive my car every day and didn't want to be messing with carburetor's on a regular basis.. I thought my car could use a little more performance, so when I saw this new carb I thought it would be a good solution. I'm glad I did this! I bolted it on and had an immediate improvement. Stromberg say's they produce 250 cfm with improved fuel circuits...After running this for a few weeks, the only issue I have had is that If I leave it idling for several minutes it will load up a bit, I believe I can remedy this by going down a jet size.
anyway, I'm pretty happy with the switch and was just wondering if anyone else is using one of these yet and their experience thus far?
