I have stock linkage and a single carb/manifold currently on my 37 Ford truck. I have picked up a regular dual Offy intake and two Stromberg 81's that I want to install. Anyone have pics of a setup like this on their vehicle? Who offers the best linkage parts out there for this app?
Well....No replies to this one. I picked up some random linkage parts and some stainless stock material to fab my own connection from original pedal assembly to carb throttle linkage. Turned out decent. As I suspected, the NOS carbs would need some fresh parts, so a couple of rebuild kits were ordered. Tomorrow is a good day to handle that.
You don't say which Flathead you have in that '37, but a pair of 81s already on a manifold sounds like something that came off a V-8 60 midget engine. The 81s are small bore and suited to that small engine. Most folks use either Stromberg 97s or Holley '94s on their221/239 engines.
Dale Fairfax, The engine is an 8BA. It came bare bones stock. I put a Offy dual intake manifold with twin Stromburg 81's on it. The carbs were NOS from 1937. Like I had posted previously I had to get a couple of rebuild kits as the gaskets and plunger dried out and would not hold the fuel. I replaced all the necessary parts and gave it a tune and off I drove without anymore leaks.
