Interesting. I bought a manifold that had two Strombergs with this exact mod. 97 tops and bases and 48 center sections.

Another carb you might consider is: the 1 1/16 EAC style 94 which was used on the "Y" block engines and has the right vacuum output for the stock dist.

Thanks so much for all this info. Now have ruled out the Stromberg big 97 idea.
Its a street vehicle and top speed open road at 60 to 65 mph normally.
So the modified Stromberg with the 48 bowl and 50 jets with the 60pv could be the ticket.
As Charlie suggests, my distributor is the standard crab and is a recent purchase from 3rd Generation. Will put up the specs of the cam I am running for those that understand these things.
