@Dave in MN - what carb setup are you using?

Thanks!

I am currently running one Stromberg 97. (Okay power)
I have also tried two Stromberg 81's (Very good power and throttle response...poor fuel economy, there is one throttle position where I cannot tune out a lean condition.)
I have tried a Holley Sniper TBI Electronic fuel injection (Pretty good power and throttle response and great fuel efficiency) (SEE PHOTOS BELOW)

I am planning a road trip to Alaska this summer and I will be using the Holley Sniper but carrying the single 97 as a backup. The manifold adapter directly below the Holley EFI is removed to install the single Stromberg 97.
Good Day!

Dave - thank you for this info! I am considering a single 97 for mine.

Do you mind also telling me which manifold you are using for the single? ...and did you have to modify it to get it to fit since the plates where the bolts go are typically cut in half? (Yours appear to be modified in some way to account for this)

I have an unbuilt Burtz and Serr head waiting for me to get my butt into gear but still sorting out some of the final details too.

Thank you!

I made four aluminum spacers that mimic the flange end on the manifold. They act as spacers to support the concave manifold washers. The manifold studs that hold the intake on need to be longer due to the extra manifold thickness. The intake manifold is from Snyders PN: A-9425-SGL This manifold has larger diameter runners than most manifolds so it matches up to the larger Burtz intake ports nicely.

Sorry - repeat of previous post
