They're pretty similar, though you'll find there are the typical 'early 33' versus 'late 33' variants. All in all, I would not classify one as 'better' than the other . . . more along the line of what parts come with it (if buying one) - and exactly what do I plan to run on my car (or do I care?).

Many folks (for drivability) like the 34 intake and Stromberg 48 a lot better than the single barrel Detroit Lubricator. So, if I wasn't totally obsessed with having a "correct 33" version (in a 33 car), I'd probably run the 34 manifold, carb and fuel pump.

Now don't skewer me boys . . . just saying what I'd do! LOL
