59a Flathead street use in a 46 Mercury. New build.
bored 3 5/16 with a 53 Mercury camshaft grind.
presently running single stromberg 97 carb.
For this set up is a" Big Stromberg 97" ok for this set up or too big.
Or to just stick with standard stromberg 97. with 46 jets.?
Thinking about a new carb to go with new engine rebuild.
Thanks Phil NZ
