Have this Stromberg 97, but as you can see by the photo, there is a 67 cast into the top piece.... Can anyone tell me what this one is or ?????? One very knowledgeable carb guy, said he had seen many on other 97's, But didn't think it indicated any special application or ????? Your input will be much appreciated !!!!!
Does this tell you anything ???? Carb is out in the garage can take a better look tomorrow Thanks for your input
https://www.motortrend.com/how-to/0606rc-carburetors/ good reading... take a close look on the p*** side under the choke arm for numbers.
I will check that out for sure, THANKS.....on the other side of the carb, is a circle with 31/32 in it, of course the 31 is over the 32....
The article is interesting, although VERY incomplete. Stromberg made 59 different type EE-1 carburetors for Ford! Of these, the enthusiast is apt to find only about 11 different (that are marked 97)(the others were either low production, or prototypes), but there are several different main metering jets (0.039~0.046) in the production carburetors. As to the carb with no number marked on the side, Ford used the EE-1 (some marked 97) from 1934 to 1938; switching to Holley in 1939. But because of demand, Stromberg continued making AFTERMARKET type EE-1 carbs with Ford linkage from 1939 through the mid-1950's. These aftermarket carbs do not have a number cast on the side, rather they have a STAMPED number on the flat area of the top casting. Since the number 2 was the Stromberg code number for Ford, these numbers will be a 2-nn(l) where nn is a 2-digit number, and l, if present is a letter representing the engineering status of the carburetor when produced. The latest of these was 2-21B, last produced in September 1956. This was a replacement for 1935~1938 original equipment carburetors, and was calibrated with a 0.046 main metering jet. This particular carburetor also came with a rectangular br*** tag with the number 380076. Jon
