I use 1 you will need a pretty warm engine to run 2 strombergs

I have one on a B engine in my 30 pickup. It runs great with 2 Stromberg 81's.

they work well but may not fit under a '29 hood?

What are the hoses that appear to go to the top of the air cleaners? PCV? Looks like you have room for a third 97?

Nice looking engine. Love a nicely dressed engine.

Snyders offers a finned triple down draft intake. It doesn't have the Zepher name. It would take some doing to get three down drafts to function properly on a model A engine but it can be done.

Haha, I bet it would. it's hard enough to get them to function properly on my other car...

My Town Sedan is staying with the updraft...

Hey Colin,
Nice, thanks for sharing ! I'd like to see picture of the other side of your engine

. Always looking for ideas !

BTW..Yup, have one of the 2 pot zephers also, but have special plans for this one.

Thats a rite purty Y block, I always liked those engines .

Actually the easiest multi carb setup for a model A engine is dual updrafts. Good dual updraft manifolds are getting hard to find.

Thanks for the advice guys. It sounds a bit complicated to get to run well.

I'll stick with my stock B motor for the time being.

Jim Brierley · 12-01-2014, 12:45 PM

i run three 81's on my speedster, not complicated at all but wouldn't run them on a near-stock engine. mine runs very good, gets good gas mileage and has no flat-spots. i use stock jetting with the center acceleration pump disconnected. i wanted to try progressive linkage but couldn't find any so all are linked together. biggest problem is getting it to idle slowly, no problem on the speedster.
