I DIDN"T WRITE THIS!
but I copied it from Bruce last time this came up;
"Strombergs:
Model 40: 1934, some '35
48: 1935, some 1936
97: Some 1936, all 1937, some '38, manufactured as a replacement carb for all flatheads.
81: V8 60, 1837-38 in USA, 1935-??? overseas. 81 was first offered in USA (before 60 was introduced here) as an economy option for 1936 85HP town delivery vehicles.
LZ 1" bore--Lincoln Zephyr
94 and relatives, Holley AA series, variants
Chandler Groves, Ford model 78--very limited use 1937, substantial use 1938
Holley 91-99 1939-41 85, 95
21-29 1942, wartime 85-95
59 1846-8
92 1939-40 V860
Various larger versions, four bolt, for Lincolns--06H, 26H
1949-53, Y blocks--286 knows these
Stromberg variants came on Cord, Auburn, big Nash, some Packards perhaps others, MANY variations, backwards rockers, etc.
A few Holley AA variants were made for others--there's an IHC version with weird iron top and base, sometimes has Ford 21-29 casting info but has larger bore than a 21-28 stamped on back.
TWO or THREE unrelated identifiers on many carbs.
Strombergs have fractional bore cast on R side, 97 on left side is decimal bore info, not a model #
Ford model identifier is often cast in--97 is model 67, 48 is model 48, 81 is model 52. Original jet installation is STAMPED in--note that normal 48's will have 048 or 48 stamped for jet size, 48n cast in for model--a coincidence of numbers.
Stromber model is EE1 for all sizes close to 1", EE 7/8 for the 81.
94, 1, and 81 are size designations for Holley types, all are family AA 1 for Holley. Ford model designations are the 59, etc. cast on side and relating to year designation of part number.

Admitting that you have a problem is the first step to recovery.
