Carb Rebuild

[Terry,OH]

In 34 Ford used both the 40 and 48. The two Carbs were identical in outward appearance, with the difference being the inside of the top and center sections. At sometime near 35 Ford had Stromberg mark the die casting "48" to distinguish Ford Carbs from Carbs used by other car Mfg. due to Fords rebuilding program.

I thought 40 was the model of the car, and 48 was the first Stromberg 3 bolt two barrel in '34.
Pretty sure '33 and '34 Ford cars were model 40's.
