Default Re: Stromberg 97,81,48 what's the diff.?

"They used to make some very nice replacement tops for the 97's, with twin flared stacks on them. I always thought they looked awesome. There was also a oval, flared top."

Frank, i rebuilt a friends six Stromberg 97 set-up on a '57 Olds J2 engine a while back in a '32 5 window hi boy with Uncle Max's good recommendation on main jet and power valve sizes. The carbs all had polished aluminum Scott tops with the two flared chrome stacks like you mentioned. I imagine the tops are fairly rare. The engine came out of an old school '54 Chevy custom.
