Grabbed one off Ebay the other day.

Should be here Thursday.

Have article somewhere saying how the Strombergs are super well made.

Something about there is more machining in them than most factory carbs.

Stromberg made the carburetors for airplane engines during World War II.

Ran across 'pressurized' Stromberg's that were used on airplanes.

That was so they could fly upside down and make sudden maneuvers.

Basically they did not have floats and float bowls.

They are kind of like fuel injection.

Going to get one of those too and try and adapt it to car engine.

So.All and all very happy with little Stromberg two barrel.

Happy holidays!
