At one time I was searching for a carb adapter for my original '32 V8 intake and found that I could use an adapter made by Trans-Dapt. TRANS-DAPT 2025 Carburetor Adapter. These are listed on Ebay as well as other places like Summit. It is a universal design meaning you would need to shave some of the "extra" metal casting to match the base on your intake and carb. Also the Stromberg carb should have the "D" shaped base instead of the chevron style base. I also found that the "Secrets of Speed" adapters were not made for the '32 intake. The 2 mounting bolts on the intake are different than their adapters.

I ended up switching to the '34 intake which has the smooth look of the '32 & '33 intake. I had Uncle Max prepare a Stromberg 48 for me. I have used this combination for about 10 years now with no problems.

Good Luck,
Pat
