Carburetor Controversy

You can say what you want about the venerable Stromberg 97, but a set of 1 1/16" big throat 94s does it for me!!! What a thing of beauty...

 

wow ,,mounted on the ever elusive PINE 2x4 Intake

 

little wing..thats funny....Nothing wrong with a set of 94's...

 

That's WHITE pine to you mister! It doesn't flow to well though. Ha-ha!

Haven't got an intake yet. I'm running a rebuilt to stock 1950 8BA flathead. I'm going to build a set of 1 7/8" headers, run an alternator, and update the distributer and ignition.

Anyone got an opinion on the best intake to go with would be?

 

what kind of heads are you running?.. I personally like seeing matched heads and intakes on flatmotors.

dont run and alternator though....please.....a rebuilt generator wont fail you I promise..its bad enough your using those 94's hahaha J/K

 

Little Wing, I just couldn't resist making this new "high rise" 4x4 just for you!! Ha-ha!

 

Nobodys Hero, Right now I only have stock heads. I want to run a matched set, but don't know what would be the best set up since I'm using a stock cam.

 

Treated lumber adds 50 hp, just like chrome.

 

Ha-hahahahahahaha! Too funny. I love it!

 

The 94 truely is the superior carb in the world of inferior carbueration.

 

I believe HOT ROD magazine said they (all carbs of the era) atomize fuel as well as a coffee maker...

 

About the pine intake.....Shouldn't you be using a 2 X 2 vs a 2 X 4?

 

Good call. It'll never work...

 

wow ,,don't see many of those anymore

 

Thats pretty funny! Yep, I've got a set of 94 s and I love em. Unfortunately, they do take about a full 2 seconds off my 1/4 mile.

 

Well, I'm going from a full roller SBC 350 with a tunnel ram and twin Edlebrocks, with a B&M Auto to a rebuilt flathead that made 100 horsepower when it was new. Ha-ha!!

 

Thats gonna take more than a couple seconds off your et, I could be wrong though.

 

Is that a "short block""""?????

 

I have 3 of them for my Y block ! They don't leak either !

 

Man, this thread is hilarious.

This thread is full of jOAKs. MAPLE if you paint them it would SPRUCE them up a little bit. Just an idea FIR you. If you're not interested, that's PINE with me.

 

Actually its Mrs. lol, not mister.

A set of 94s can do the job just as well as a set of 97s, just need to be properly tuned. Those manifolds are a beauty of nature. Definitely would get the tree huggers in an uproar quickly.-Weeks

 

Just need those ever present "gas stain dribble" down the side of that fine piece of lumber !!!

 

So if you spray chrome an Edelbirch intake you'll have an instant 100hp boost.......

 

That right there's a long block.

 

Oh man, you're killing me!!!!

 

you'ed be a sap to paint em!

 

That's OK. That intake will do you fine if you really nail it

 

i had my carbs on the low rise version of your manifold, they then went on to live on a 350...

 

I love 94's. One of them is holding up the short leg on my work bench! D.
