What kind of Carter carb? I have been trying to decide how to carb and exhaust my newly rebuilt Model A motor with touring cam and V-8 clutch, etc. I am leaning towards a "big Stromberg 97" but maybe a Weber -- I don't know. I cannot find CFM specs for the Webers, but the big 97 handles about 250 CFM which is about what a Model A can use, what with its 200 c.i. size. The Weber sold by most of the vendors, the 32/34 was originally designed for 2 liter motors. Your thought?
