School me on stromberg carbs

[flatford8]

Ok, so now you got me thinking I should mess around with a Stromberg…I got a few cores here somewhere…I think carbs and transmissions are magic that I don’t understand….I successfully rebuilt a Holley 94 last year so maybe I’ll give a Stromberg a try…I know what you mean about a possible Hot Rod….I got everything but a body…but I got all the parts to a ‘37 pickup before that, after I finish my ‘51 Tudor. Throw in a possible move to a warmer climate in a few years and sooner or later I’m gonna run outta time…..explain to me how people get bored in retirement?!?!…….Mark

Mark, Sounds like a really good choice of 3 old fords! I haven't retired yet and I sure as heck haven't been bored. I'm at working about 20-25 hrs a week and I took most of last summer off. Felt great. I have taken on 3 decent size jobs this winter. One of them is trying, complex and bigger than I would have liked, but it's a good one with lots of creativity and shop engineering, anything but boring. Another is a curved solid maple and stainless steel staircase (just the woodwork and installation).... Anyhow, winter is a good time to make hay for another summer off. Grandkids are gettin old enough to stay with Ol' Gramps and Grandma Ravin. They love riding in the woodie and the foyota, 2 rigs that pretty much hibernate in the winter. Hot rod not likely any time soon. But stay tuned.
