    I wanted some good quality (Not Chinese copies) carbs to top off the Edelbrock 573 tri power for my mctim64 built Y block so I contacted HAMB vendor Uncle Max.

    After some back and forth messages we came up with a plan.
    I wanted the carbs (Brand new Stromberg 97s) finished in a gold color with black bases and chrome for all the linkages.

    Clive ( the carb builder in England ) and source of these fine carbs really outdid himself. :cool:

    I got the carbs and they are absolutely beautiful.
    Pictures for your enjoyment.
