Howdy all..Tim here. This is probably a stupid question but here it goes. What cars came stock with 97's. Tim MBL
I DIDN"T WRITE THIS! but I copied it from Bruce last time this came up; "Strombergs: Model 40: 1934, some '35 48: 1935, some 1936 97: Some 1936, all 1937, some '38, manufactured as a replacement carb for all flatheads. 81: V8 60, 1837-38 in USA, 1935-??? overseas. 81 was first offered in USA (before 60 was introduced here) as an economy option for 1936 85HP town delivery vehicles. LZ 1" bore--Lincoln Zephyr 94 and relatives, Holley AA series, variants Chandler Groves, Ford model 78--very limited use 1937, substantial use 1938 Holley 91-99 1939-41 85, 95 21-29 1942, wartime 85-95 59 1846-8 92 1939-40 V860 Various larger versions, four bolt, for Lincolns--06H, 26H 1949-53, Y blocks--286 knows these Stromberg variants came on Cord, Auburn, big Nash, some Packards perhaps others, MANY variations, backwards rockers, etc. A few Holley AA variants were made for others--there's an IHC version with weird iron top and base, sometimes has Ford 21-29 casting info but has larger bore than a 21-28 stamped on back. TWO or THREE unrelated identifiers on many carbs. Strombergs have fractional bore cast on R side, 97 on left side is decimal bore info, not a model # Ford model identifier is often cast in--97 is model 67, 48 is model 48, 81 is model 52. Original jet installation is STAMPED in--note that normal 48's will have 048 or 48 stamped for jet size, 48n cast in for model--a coincidence of numbers. Stromber model is EE1 for all sizes close to 1", EE 7/8 for the 81. 94, 1, and 81 are size designations for Holley types, all are family AA 1 for Holley. Ford model designations are the 59, etc. cast on side and relating to year designation of part number. -------------------- Bruce
