Sandy Belond's Muffler Shop roadster

48 Stromberg's bored, ported and polished by Jack Henry in late 1930's. The main jets in these carbs are #61 ! That's 11 jet sizes over stock and they both maintain their power valves, those are 7 sizes over stock. They have milled slots in the throttle blade area that are similar to what we would call transfer slots today. They maintain excellent air/fuel ratio throughout the power band which is unusual and not consistent with standard 48's. Ol' Man Henry was known for his tuning abilities and these are a testiment to his carb work.

Sandy's roadster is a '31 on '32 rails with a modified wheelbase and highly modified front and rear crossmembers. The engine is based on a production '40 Merc but was built by Sam Hanks who replicated a Miller Ford Indy engine. It features a Miller crank, Eddie Meyer dual plug heads with custom chambers to match the Bohn-A-Lite flat top pistons, a one off Thickstun/Radke 4X2 IR intake manifold; ignition is a modified Nash Twin 8 distributor driven through a Bugatti Scintilla angle drive adapter and of course a set of Belond W headers with tapered scavenger extensions.
