Hello fellas, I was wondering if anyone here could tell me what type of carburetors these are. The caption I found them with stated they were stromberg side breathers. But all my searches of this has come up empty. Any help? Forgot to add, the intake they are on is an offy 401 nailhead intake. Dont know it this helps though...
WW series made for the Studebaker's with the low sloping hoods...IE rear air intake for hood clearnace.
That intake is made to use 2 - 4 barrel carburetors, I believe these Studebaker carbs are 2 barrels mounted with adapters.
one word of caution to file away for future reference is that the center pivot screw for the accelerator pump arm has left handed threads. You don't need to ask how I figured that out. Yeah I sure did!
The WW was made in several styles: These with the 90* airhorn, some with a conventional cylindrical top like a 97, and some with the double "V" top. Applications include '55-'58 Buick, '53-'58 Dodge, and '53-'58 Studebaker.
Cool deal guys thanks. Will be heading to Ga. Monday to pick up 2 401 nailheads. One of them is from a 455 wildcat I was told. Ill be putting that one in my 64 GMC half ton. Id really like to feed it with this kind of set up. Are they hard to find?
