Default Re: Stromberg 97 and Holly 94 core prices

A side note on the history of 97s preference over 94s: Hot Rodders of old were limited to 97's due to the early design of dual manifolds, the 97 being narrower front to back. For a pair of 94's to mount on an early manifold, the front airhorn mounting screw had to be shaved for clearance. This ugly modification (uncool) in itself can account for a goodly number of 94s going unsold at swap meets, together with the inaccurate assumption by some that this mod may still need to be done on 94 multi carb setups.
